There are science and the application of science, bound together as the fruit to the tree which bears it. All great progress takes place when two sciences come together, and when their resemblance proclaims itself, despite the apparent disparity of their substance. Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition. We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another. The best is the enemy of the good.
Man is the interpreter of nature, science the right interpretation.
Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations we can perform without thinking about them.
