Today, Academies Of Science Use Their Influence

At The Heart Of Science Lies Discovery Which Involves A Change In Worldview. Discovery In Science Is Possible Only In Societies Which Accord Their Citizens The Freedom To Pursue The Truth Where It May Lead And Which Therefore Have Respect For Different Paths To That Truth.

Science Never Gives Up Searching For Truth, Since It Never Claims To Have Achieved It.

When, As We Must Often Do, We Fear Science, We Really Fear Ourselves. Human Dignity Is Better Served By Embracing Knowledge.

Reality Is No Less Precious If It Presents Itself To Someone Else. All Are Discoverers, And If We Disenfranchise Any, All Suffer.

The Applause Is A Celebration Not Only Of The Actors But Also Of The Audience. It Constitutes A Shared Moment Of Delight.
