- “My faith did not come to me through science, and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it. When I change my mind about God and His work, only the inspiration of God will change it.” (Thomas S. Monson, Church News, 12 Nov. 2005, 3)
- “Working in medicine is probably not going to get you rich. Your friends and relatives probably won’t understand what you are doing, and if you work in a field like elementary particle physics (which I do), you won’t even have the satisfaction of doing something that is immediately useful. But you can get great gratification in recognizing your work in science is a part of history.” Steven Weinberg, Born: May 3, 1933
- “Discoveries that are anticipated are seldom the most valuable…it’s the scientist who is free to pilot his vessel across hidden shoals into open seas who gives the best value.” John C. Polyani, Born: January 23, 1929
