Jonas Salk Quotes

Wisdom: It’s something that you know when you see it. You can recognize it, you can experience it. I have defined wisdom as the capacity to make judgments that when looked back upon will seem to have been wise Picture Quote #1

I’m saying that we should trust our intuition. I believe that the principles of universal evolution are revealed to us through intuition. And I think that if we combine our intuition and our reason, we can respond in an evolutionary sound way to our problems Picture Quote #1

I think of the need for more wisdom in the world, to deal with the knowledge that we have. At one time we had wisdom, but little knowledge. Now we have a great deal of knowledge, but do we have enough wisdom to deal with that knowledge? Picture Quote #1

Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality Picture Quote #1

I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams Picture Quote #1

It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It’s my partner Picture Quote #1

Nothing happens quite by chance. It’s a question of accretion of information and experience Picture Quote #1

There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality Picture Quote #1

I pictured myself as a virus or a cancer cell and tried to sense what it would be like Picture Quote #1

As a child I was not interested in science. I was merely interested in things human, the human side of nature, if you like, and I continue to be interested in that. That’s what motivates me Picture Quote #1

Risks, I like to say, always pay off. You learn what to do, or what not to do Picture Quote #1

I speak about universal evolution and teleological evolution; because I think the process of evolution reflects the wisdom of nature. I see the need for wisdom to become operative. We need to try to put all of these things together in what I call an evolutionary philosophy of our time Picture Quote #1

If all the insects were to disappear from the earth, within 50 years all life on earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish Picture Quote #1

I do what I feel impelled to do, as an artist would. Scientists function in the same way. I see all these as creative activities, as all part of the process of discovery. Perhaps that’s one of the characteristics of what I call the evolvers, any subset of the population who keep things moving in a positive, creative, constructive way, revealing the truth and beauty that exists in life and in nature Picture Quote #1

My ambition was to bring to bear on medicine a chemical approach. I did that by chemical manipulation of viruses and chemical ways of thinking in biomedical research Picture Quote #1

In my view, art and the approach to life through art, using it as a vehicle for education and even for doing science is so vital that it is part of a great new revolution that is taking place. I believe we are entering a whole new epoch Picture Quote #1

If humankind would accept and acknowledge this responsibility and become creatively engaged in the process of evolution, consciously as well as unconsciously, a new reality would emerge, and a new age could be born Picture Quote #1

I have come to recognize evolution not only as an active process that I am experiencing at the time, but as something I can guide by the choices I make Picture Quote #1

When you inoculate children with a polio vaccine, you don’t sleep well for two or three months Picture Quote #1

There is a moment of conception and a moment of birth, but between them there is a long period of gestation Picture Quote #1

Now, some people might look at something and let it go by, because they don’t recognize the pattern and the significance. It’s the sensitivity to pattern recognition that seems to me to be of great importance. It’s a matter of being able to find meaning, whether it’s positive or negative, in whatever you encounter. It’s like a journey. It’s like finding the paths that will allow you to go forward, or that path that has a block that tells you to start over again or do something else Picture Quote #1

Reply when questioned on the safety of the polio vaccine he developed: It is safe, and you can’t get safer than safe Picture Quote #1

If all insects disappeared, all life on earth would perish. If all humans disappeared, all life on earth would flourish Picture Quote #1
