Science Quotes by Isaac Watts (2 quotes)
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower.
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower.
— Isaac Watts
In Divine and Moral Songs for Children (1869),
No science is speedily learned by the noblest genius without tuition.
— Isaac Watts
Isaac Watts. Quoted in Adam Wooléver (ed.), Encyclopædia of Quotations: A Treasury of Wisdom, Wit and Humor, Odd Comparisons and Proverbs (6th ed, 1876), 128.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
