"engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society..." »Dean Gordon Brown

"engineering is the science of economy, of conserving the energy, kinetic and potential, provided and stored up by nature for the use of man. It is the business of engineering to utilize this energy to the best advantage, so that there may be the least possible waste." »William A. Smith
|
|
"engineering is the art or science of making practical." »Samuel C. Florman
|
|
"engineering is the professional art of applying science to the optimum conversion of natural resources to the benefit of man." »Ralph J. Smith
|
|
"Any impatient student of mathematics or science or engineering who is irked by having algebraic symbolism thrust upon him should try to get along without it for a week." »Eric Temple Bell
|
|
"engineering is the professional and systematic application of science to the efficient utilization of natural resources to produce wealth." »T. J. Hoover

|
"The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers." »Lewis Thomas
|
|
"The inspirational value of the space program is probably of far greater importance to education than any input of dollars... A whole generation is growing up which has been attracted to the hard disciplines of science and engineering by the romance of space." »Arthur C. Clarke, First on the Moon, 1970

"Some says that genetic engineering is within the scope of the God! Well, it was so, that area would have been encircled with the impassable high walls! Mankind cannot lose its time with this kind of religious craps! Genetic engineering is our garden!" »Mehmet Murat ildan

|
"There is only one nature - the division into science and engineering is a human imposition, not a natural one. Indeed, the division is a human failure it reflects our limited capacity to comprehend the whole." »Bill Wulf
|
|
"There are two kinds of science: The black science and the white science. The science of weapon production is the black one. Working in this category of science is a great betrayal to humanity!" »Mehmet Murat ildan
|

"engineering is a great profession. There is the fascination of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer's high privilege." »Herbert Hoover
|
|
"The engineer is the key figure in the material progress of the world. It is his engineering that makes a reality of the potential value of science by translating scientific knowledge into tools, resources, energy and labor to bring them into the service of man ... To make contributions of this kind the engineer requires the imagination to visualize the needs of society and to appreciate what is possible as well as the technological and broad social age understanding to bring his vision to reality." »Sir Eric Ashby

|
"He who has spent billions on churches, on mosques and on every kind of sanctuaries is guilty of not giving that money to the science! The path of sanctuary does not lead to God; the path of the faith does not lead to God; only the path of science leads to God! The bridge between man and the unknown God is not worshipping but it is science, only the science!" »Mehmet Murat ildan

"science can be introduced to children well or poorly. If poorly, children can be turned away from science; they can develop a lifelong antipathy; they will be in a far worse condition than if they had never been introduced to science at all." »Isaac Asimov
|
|
"science is one thing, wisdom is another. science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers." »Sir Arthur Eddington
|
|
"The “stream” we call science always flows forward; sometimes reactionary beavers block its flow, but the stream is never defeated by this; it accumulates, gathers strength; its waters get over the barrage and continue on their course. The advancement of science is the advancement of God, for science is nothing but human intelligence, and human intelligence is the most valuable treasure God has bequeathed us." »Mehmet Murat ildan
|
|
"The line between the white-science and the black-science is very narrow. You can open roads or you can kill people by the same dynamite!" »Mehmet Murat ildan
|
|
"What have you done for science today? Stop doing things for God! He doesn't need anything. Do something for science, for God's sake!" »Mehmet Murat ildan
|
|
"science is a seagull, it knows the sky; it is a squirrel, it knows the forest; it is a mole, it knows the underground; it is a dolphin, it knows the ocean! science is a multi-talented creature!" »Mehmet Murat ildan

"I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true." »Carl Sagan

"Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology." »Rebecca West

"science is not a sacred cow. science is a horse. Don't worship it. Feed it." »Aubrey Eben

"Before a war, military science seems a real science, like astronomy. After a war it seems more like astrology." »Dame Rebecca West

"What can I wish to the youth of my country who devote themselves to science? ...Thirdly, passion. Remember that science demands from a man all his life. If you had two lives that would not be enough for you. Be passionate in your work and in your searching." »Ivan Pavlov

|
"Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one." »Lucius Annaeus Seneca
|
|
"engineering is the art of organizing and directing men and controlling the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race." »Henry G. Stott
|
|
"science is facts just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science." »Henri Poincare
