Insight Must Precede Application.

Hitherto The Principle Of Causality Was Universally Accepted As An Indispensable Postulate Of Scientific Research, But Now We Are Told By Some Physicists That It Must Be Thrown Overboard. The Fact That Such An Extraordinary Opinion Should Be Expressed In Responsible Scientific Quarters Is Widely Taken To Be Significant Of The All-round Unreliability Of Human Knowledge. This Indeed Is A Very Serious Situation.

The Whole Strenuous Intellectual Work Of An Industrious Research Worker Would Appear, After All, In Vain And Hopeless, If He Were Not Occasionally Through Some Striking Facts To Find That He Had, At The End Of All His Criss-cross Journeys, At Last Accomplished At Least One Step Which Was Conclusively Nearer The Truth.

Science Does Not Mean An Idle Resting Upon A Body Of Certain Knowledge; It Means Unresting Endeavor And Continually Progressing Development Toward An End Which The Poetic Intuition May Apprehend, But Which The Intellect Can Never Fully Grasp.

Science Progresses Not By Convincing The Adherents Of Old Theories That They Are Wrong, But By Allowing Enough Time To Pass So That A New Generation Can Arise Unencumbered By The Old Errors.

There Can Never Be Any Real Opposition Between Religion And Science; For The One Is The Complement Of The Other.
