"Science is a first-rate piece of furniture..." - Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr

“Civilization is the process of reducing the infinite to the finite.”

“Chicago sounds rough to the maker of verse. One comfort we have - Cincinnati sounds worse.”

“Youth fades, love droops, the leaves of friendship fall; A mother's secret hope outlives them all.”

“Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.”

“State a moral case to a plowman and a professor. The former will decide it as well, and often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules.”

“The problem with common sense is, it isn't.”

“In science we have to consider two things: power and circumstance.”

“In every department of physical science there is only so much science, properly so-called, as there is mathematics.”

“While it is true that science, to the extent of its grasp of causative connections, may reach important conclusions as to the compatibility and incompatibility of goals and evaluations, the independent and fundamental definitions regarding goals and values remain beyond science's reach.”
