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

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

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.

If, on occasion, the knowledge brought by science leads to an unhappy end, this is not to the discredit of science but is rather an indication of an imperfect ability to use wisely the gifts placed within our hands.

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.

The destiny of our society is yours to make and you have a vastly greater importance to the world than we do.

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