We live, I think, in the century of science and, perhaps, even in the century of physics.

Science shows us truth and beauty and fills each day with a fresh wonder of the exquisite order which governs our world.

Science is the greatest creative impulse of our time. It dominates the intellectual scene and forms our lives, not only in the material things which it has given us, but also in that it guides our spirit.

We live, I think, in the century of science and, perhaps, even in the century of physics.

No single achievement in science is possible without the painstaking work of the many hundreds who have built the foundation on which all new work is based.

The increase of scientific knowledge lies not only in the occasional milestones of science, but in the efforts of the very large body of men who with love and devotion observe and study nature.

The knowledge and understanding of the world which science gives us and the magnificent opportunity which it extends to us to control and use the world for the extension of our pleasure in it has never been greater than it now is.
