"As to science, we may well define..." - Quote by Albert Einstein
As to science, we may well define it for our purpose as "methodical thinking directed toward finding regulative connections between our sensual experiences".

More on Science
“Everybody should be ashamed who uses the wonders of science and engineering without thinking and having mentally realized not more of it than a cow realizes of the botany of the plants which it eats with pleasure.”
“The Book of the science of Mechanics must precede the Book of useful inventions.”
“Critics, mathematicians, scientists and busybodies want to classify everything, marking the boundaries and limits... In art, there is room for all possibilities.”
More on Thinking
“Whatever you consistently think about and focus upon you move toward.”
“Even the great scientists have reported that their creative break-throughs came at a time of mental quietude. The surprising result of a nationwide inquiry among America's most eminent mathematicians, including Einstein, to find out their working methods, was that thinking 'plays only a subordinate part in the brief, decisive phase of the creative act itself'.”
“Thinking is hard work. That's why there are so few people doing it.”
