Science upon Mind

“To a scientist a theory is something to be tested. He seeks not to defend his beliefs, but to improve them. He is, above everything else, an expert at ‘changing his mind’.” (Wendell Johnson, 1946)

"It is the mark of an educated mind to rest satisfied with the degree of precision which the nature of the subject admits and not to seek exactness where only an approximation is possible." (Aristotle)

“The sole aim of science is the honor of the human mind, and from this point of view a question about numbers is as important as a question about the system of the world.” (Carl G J Jacobi)

"The truth of a theory is in your mind, not in your eyes." (Albert Einstein)

“It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.” (Albert Einstein)

"The man of science will acts as if this world were an absolute whole controlled by laws independent of his own thoughts or act; but whenever he discovers a law of striking simplicity or one of sweeping universality or one which points to a perfect harmony in the cosmos, he will be wise to wonder what role his mind has played in the discovery, and whether the beautiful image he sees in the pool of eternity reveals the nature of this eternity, or is but a reflection of his own mind." (Tobias Dantzig)

“It has never yet been supposed, that all the facts of nature, and all the means of acquiring precision in the computation and analysis of those facts, and all the connections of objects with each other, and all the possible combinations of ideas, can be exhausted by the human mind.” (Nicolas de Condorcet, “Outlines Of An Historical View Of The Progress Of The Human Mind”, 1795)

"Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life." (Marcus Aurelius)
