The scientific spirit is of more value than its products, and irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.

Teach a child what is wise, that is morality. Teach him what is wise and beautiful, that is religion!

Freedom and order are not incompatible... truth is strength... free discussion is the very life of truth.

In science, as in art, and, as I believe, in every other sphere of human activity, there may be wisdom in a multitude of counsellors, but it is only in one or two of them.

Science commits suicide when it adopts a creed.

Patience and tenacity are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.

Ecclesiasticism in science is only unfaithfulness to truth.

The doctrine that all men are, in any sense, or have been, at any time, free and equal, is an utterly baseless fiction.

The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification.
