John Charles Polanyi Quotes

Young people ask me if this country is serious about science. They aren’t thinking about the passport that they will hold, but the country that they must rely on for support and encouragement Picture Quote #1

The scientific and scholarly community is marked by the belief that the truth is to be found in all; none can claim it as their monopoly Picture Quote #1

Discoveries that are anticipated are seldom the most valuable... It’s the scientist free to pilot his vessel across hidden shoals into open seas who gives the best value Picture Quote #1

At the heart of science lies discovery which involves a change in worldview. Discovery in science is possible only in societies which accord their citizens the freedom to pursue the truth where it may lead and which therefore have respect for different paths to that truth Picture Quote #1

Reality is no less precious if it presents itself to someone else. All are discoverers, and if we disenfranchise any, all suffer Picture Quote #1

It takes a trained and discerning researcher to keep the goal in sight, and to detect evidence of the creeping progress toward it Picture Quote #1

Science is an enterprise that can only flourish if it puts the truth ahead of nationality, ethnicity, class and color Picture Quote #1

In education the appetite does indeed grow with eating. I have never known anyone to abandon study because they knew too much Picture Quote #1

Authority in science exists to be questioned, since heresy is the spring from which new ideas flow Picture Quote #1

The applause is a celebration not only of the actors but also of the audience. It constitutes a shared moment of delight Picture Quote #1

Scientia is knowledge. It is only in the popular mind that it is equated with facts Picture Quote #1
