“Science enhances the moral value of life, because it furthers a love of truth and reverence-love of truth displaying itself in the constant endeavor to arrive at a more exact knowledge of the world of mind and matter around us, and reverence, because every advance in knowledge brings us face to face with the mystery of our own being.” WorldMindMatterFacesScienceValuesMoralKnowledgeMysteryAccountsConstantEndeavorReverenceFace To FaceMoral ValuesValue Of LifeKnowledge Of The WorldMind And Matter Book:Where is science going?

“Imitation is for the most part so unconscious that its effects are almost unheeded, but its influence is not the less permanent on that account.

The approximation of feeling, thought, and habit is constant, and the action of example unceasing.” CharacterFeelingsActionInfluenceEffectsExampleHabitExerciseAccountsConstantContactPermanentUnconsciousImitationImpressiveAlterationsApproximationImpressionable Book:Happy Homes and the Hearts that Make Them.

“The fundamental characteristic of the scientific method is honesty. In dealing with any question, science asks no favors. ... I believe that constant use of the scientific method must in the end leave its impress upon him who uses it. ... A life spent in accordance with scientific teachings would be of a high order.
