Text Quotes
We have the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should tolerate even them whenever we can do so without running a great risk; but the risk may become so great that we cannot allow ourselves the luxury (Karl Popper Quotes)
Is the world ruled by strict laws or not? This question I regard as metaphysical. The laws we find are always hypotheses; which means that they may always be superseded, and that they may possibly be deduced from probability estimates. Yet denying causality would be the same as attempting to persuade the theorist to give up his search; and that such an attempt cannot be backed by anything like a proof (Karl Popper Quotes)
Always remember that it is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood: There will always be some who misunderstand you (Karl Popper Quotes)
It seems to me certain that more people are killed out of righteous stupidity than out of wickedness (Karl Popper Quotes)
The open society is one in which men have learned to be to some extent critical of taboos, and to base decisions on the authority of their own intelligence (Karl Popper Quotes)
... No matter how many instances of white swans we may have observed, this does not justify the conclusion that all swans are white (Karl Popper Quotes)
You can choose whatever name you like for the two types of government. I personally call the type of government which can be removed without violence democracy, and the other tyranny (Karl Popper Quotes)
We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure (Karl Popper Quotes)
Evolution is not a fact. Evolution doesn’t even qualify as a theory or as a hypothesis. It is a metaphysical research program, and it is not really testable science (Karl Popper Quotes)
We all remember how many religious wars were fought for a religion of love and gentleness; how many bodies were burned alive with the genuinely kind intention of saving souls from the eternal fire of hell (Karl Popper Quotes)
It is complete nihilism to propose laying down arms in a world where atom bombs are around. It is very simple: there is no way of achieving peace other than with weapons (Karl Popper Quotes)
We are social creatures to the inmost centre of our being. The notion that one can begin anything at all from scratch, free from the past, or unindebted to others, could not conceivably be more wrong (Karl Popper Quotes)
While differing widely in the various little bits we know, in our infinite ignorance we are all equal (Karl Popper Quotes)
It is wrong to think that belief in freedom always leads to victory; we must always be prepared for it to lead to defeat. If we choose freedom, then we must be prepared to perish along with it (Karl Popper Quotes)
There is no history of mankind, there is only an indefinite number of histories of all kinds of aspects of human life (Karl Popper Quotes)
Do not allow your dreams of a beautiful world to lure you away from the claims of men who suffer here and now. Our fellow men have a claim to our help; no generation must be sacrificed for the sake of future generations (Karl Popper Quotes)
The more we learn about the world, and the deeper our learning, the more conscious, specific, and articulate will be our knowledge of what we do not know, our knowledge of our ignorance (Karl Popper Quotes)
The game of science is, in principle, without end. He who decides one day that scientific statements do not call for any further test, and that they can be regarded as finally verified, retires from the game (Karl Popper Quotes)
Science is perhaps the only human activity in which errors are systematically criticized and, in time, corrected (Karl Popper Quotes)
Some scientists find, or so it seems, that they get their best ideas when smoking; others by drinking coffee or whisky. Thus there is no reason why I should not admit that some may get their ideas by observing, or by repeating observations (Karl Popper Quotes)
It is a myth that the success of science in our time is mainly due to the huge amounts of money that have been spent on big machines. What really makes science grow is new ideas, including false ideas (Karl Popper Quotes)
It is not his possession of knowledge, of irrefutable truth, that makes the man of science, but his persistent and recklessly critical quest for truth (Karl Popper Quotes)
Thus science must begin with myths, and with the criticism of myths; neither with the collection of observations, nor with the invention of experiments, but with the critical discussion of myths, and of magical techniques and practices (Karl Popper Quotes)
The initial stage, the act of conceiving or inventing a theory, seems to me neither to call for logical analysis nor to be susceptible of it (Karl Popper Quotes)
There can be no ultimate statements science: there can be no statements in science which can not be tested, and therefore none which cannot in principle be refuted, by falsifying some of the conclusions which can be deduced from them (Karl Popper Quotes)
Ignorance is not a simple lack of knowledge but an active aversion to knowledge, the refusal to know, issuing from cowardice, pride, or laziness of mind (Karl Popper Quotes)
In my view, aiming at simplicity and lucidity is a moral duty of all intellectuals: lack of clarity is a sin, and pretentiousness is a crime (Karl Popper Quotes)
Our aim must be to make our successive mistakes as quickly as possible. To speed up evolution (Karl Popper Quotes)
The best thing that can happen to a human being us to find a problem, to fall in love with that problem, and to live trying to solve that problem, unless another problem even more lovable appears (Karl Popper Quotes)
Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve (Karl Popper Quotes)
