The Most Remarkable Discovery Ever Made By

The Most Remarkable Discovery Made By Scientists Is Science Itself. The Discovery Must Be Compared In Importance With The Invention Of Cave-painting And Of Writing. Like These Earlier Human Creations, Science Is An Attempt To Control Our Surroundings By Entering Into Them And Understanding Them From Inside. And Like Them, Science Has Surely Made A Critical Step In Human Development Which Cannot Be Reversed. We Cannot Conceive A Future Society Without Science.

Science, Like Art, Is Not A Copy Of Nature But A Re-creation Of Her.

Man Is Not The Most Majestic Of The Creatures; Long Before The Mammals Even, The Dinosaurs Were Far More Splendid. But He Has What No Other Animal Possesses: A Jigsaw Of Faculties, Which Alone, Over Three Thousand Million Years Of Life, Made Him Creative. Every Animal Leaves Traces Of What He Was. Man Alone Leaves Traces Of What He Created.

The Values By Which We Are To Survive Are Not Rules For Just And Unjust Conduct, But Are Those Deeper Illuminations In Whose Light Justice And Injustice, Good And Evil, Means And Ends Are Seen In Fearful Sharpness Of Outline.

Man Masters Nature Not By Force, But By Understanding
