| Quotes: | |
| "We need a certain amount of dither in our mental mechanisms. We need to have our ideas jostled about a bit so that we do not become intellectually sluggish." -Warren Weaver |
|
| "Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose." -Ralph Waldo Emerson |
|
| "I am the wisest man in Athens because I know I don't know. I am only singularly ignorant. The rest of the citizens are twice as ignorant. They think they know, but they still don't know." -Plato |
|
| "All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth." -Aristotle |
|
| "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member." -Groucho Marx |
|
| "I find that teaching and the students keep life going, and I would never accept any position in which somebody has invented a happy situation for me where I don't have to teach. Never." -Richard P. Feynman |
|
| "There is little point in teaching and learning that provides primarily dead information." -David Perkins |
|
| "This experience gave me also an opportunity to learn a new fact--a remarkable one, in my opinion: A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." -Max Planck |
|
| "'Authorities,' 'disciples,' and 'schools' are the curse of science; and do more to interfere with the work of the scientific spirit than all its enemies." -T.H. Huxley |
|
| "As a scientist, Barbara [McClintock] was a prototypic non-careerist. This was not because she restrained a natural impulse to do otherwise, but because she could not imagine science as a vehicle for personal advancement." -Howard Green |
|
| "Human beings, viewed as behaving systems, are quite simple. The apparent complexity of our behavior is largely a reflection of the complexity of the environment in which we find ourselves." -Herbert A. Simon |
|
| "It has been my experience that the most unattractive problem becomes absorbingly interesting when one digs into it...when you really get acquainted with a problem, you are apt to fall in love with it." -E.E. Reid |
|
| "In the field of observation, chance favors only the prepared mind." -Louis Pasteur |
|
| "Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." -Confucius |
|
| "In explaining synergistic couples, many authors emphasize the complementarity--drawn along the lines of disciplinary commitment, socially constructed gender, personality, or scientific style--that seems to have permitted some couples to do scientific work that surpassed what either the husband or wife alone would have been able to accomplish or the wife alone would have been allowed to pursue." -Pycior, Slack, and Abir-Am |
