  • Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

    Albert Einstein (2010). “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein”, p.231, Princeton University Press
  • Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.

    Albert Einstein (1970). “Albert Einstein: philosopher-scientist”
  • ISTPs have a vested interest in practical and applied science, especially in the field of mechanics.

    Isabel Briggs Myers, Peter B. Myers (2010). “Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type”, p.96, Hachette UK
  • But, contrary to the lady's prejudices about the engineering profession, the fact is that quite some time ago the tables were turned between theory and applications in the physical sciences. Since World War II the discoveries that have changed the world are not made so much in lofty halls of theoretical physics as in the less-noticed labs of engineering and experimental physics. The roles of pure and applied science have been reversed; they are no longer what they were in the golden age of physics, in the age of Einstein, Schrödinger, Fermi and Dirac.

  • If you sense a deep human need, then you go back to all the basic science. If there is some missing, then you try to do more basic science and applied science until you get it. So you make the system to fulfill that need, rather than starting the other way around, where you have something and wonder what to do with it.

    Missing   Trying   Needs  
    "Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society", (Vol. 146, no. 1, p. 115), March 2002.
  • The fact that the regions of nature actually covered by known laws are few and fragmentary is concealed by the natural tendency to crowd our experience into those particular regions and to leave the others to themselves. We seek out those parts that are known and familiar and avoid those that are unknown and unfamiliar. This is simply what is called 'Applied Science.'

  • This example illustrates the differences in the effects which may be produced by research in pure or applied science. A research on the lines of applied science would doubtless have led to improvement and development of the older methods - the research in pure science has given us an entirely new and much more powerful method. In fact, research in applied science leads to reforms, research in pure science leads to revolutions, and revolutions, whether political or industrial, are exceedingly profitable things if you are on the winning side.

    Attributed in "The Life of Sir J. J. Thomson" by Lord Rayleigh, (p. 199), 1943.
  • Rather than ennobling the public mind and cementing the social fabric, applied science speedily became the chief weapon of a gross individualism, which was anathema to the frugal and righteous (John Quincy) Adams, the source of enormous fortunes divorced from duty, the instrument of unscrupulous ambition and rapacious materialism. Presently, it came to scar the very of the country which Adams loved, a disfiguring process uninterrupted since his day.

    Russell Kirk (2001). “The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot”, p.237, Regnery Publishing
  • Now, if doctors were aware that medicine was not a science and that they were pulling what is undoubtedly the largest and most successful confidence trick ever tried the damage would be fairly minimal. But the problem is compounded by the fact that the vast majority of doctors believe the lie that they are taught; they believe that they are scientists, practising an applied science.

  • Yoga is a science, and not a vague dreamy drifting or imagining.

    Annie Besant (2016). “The Nature and Practice of Yoga”, p.13, BookRix
  • Theology is a science of mind applied to God.

    Henry Ward Beecher (1866). “Royal truths”, p.53
  • Unless we choose to decentralize and to use applied science, not as the end to which human beings are to be made the means, but as the means to producing a race of free individuals, we have only two alternatives to choose from: either a number of national

    War   Mean   Race  
    Aldous Huxley (1950). “The Collected Works of Aldous Huxley: Brave new world”
  • There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are sciences and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.

    Science   Past   Names  
    "Revue Scientifique". Book by Louis Pasteur, 1871.
  • In our educational institutions applied science may almost be described as a "no-man's land."

  • There is no such thing as applied science, only the application of pure science.

  • Government is itself an art, one of the subtlest of the arts. It is neither business, nor technology, nor applied science. It is the art of making men live together in peace and with reasonable happiness.

  • For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men.

    Wise   Reality   Men  
    C. S. Lewis (2013). “Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Literature”, p.183, Cambridge University Press
  • Procrustes in modern dress, the nuclear scientist will prepare the bed on which mankind must lie; and if mankind doesn’t fit—well, that will be just too bad for mankind. There will have to be some stretching and a bit of amputation—the same sort of stretching and amputations as have been going on ever since applied science really got going into its stride, only this time they will be a good deal more drastic than in the past. These far from painless operations will be directed by highly centralized totalitarian governments.

    Lying   Past   Government  
  • The aims of pure basic science, unlike those of applied science, are neither fast-flowing nor pragmatic. The quick harvest of applied science is the useable process, the medicine, the machine. The shy fruit of pure science is understanding.

  • The Engineer is one who, in the world of physics and applied sciences, begets new things, or adapts old things to new and better uses; above all, one who, in that field, attains new results in the best way and at lowest cost.

    "Industrial Engineering : An Address Delivered" by Henry R. Towne, www.stamfordhistory.org. February 24th, 1905.
  • There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.

    Address, 11 September 1872, in 'Comptes rendus des travaux du Congrés viticole et sèricicole de Lyon, 9-14 septembre 1872' p. 49
  • Natural selection must be replaced by eugenical artificial selection. This idea constitutes the sound core of eugenics, the applied science of human betterment.

  • Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.

    Introduction to the French edition of "Crash", 1974.
  • Yoga is a science, and not a vague dreamy drifting or imagining. It is an applied science, a systematized collection of laws applied to bring about a definite end. It takes up the laws of psychology, applicable to the unfolding of the whole consciousness of man on every plane, in every world, and applies those rationally in a particular case. This rational application of the laws of unfolding consciousness acts exactly on the same principles that you see applied around you every day in other departments of science.

    Annie Besant (2017). “The Nature and Practice of Yoga”, BookRix
  • Good applied science in medicine, as in physics, requires a high degree of certainty about the basic facts at hand, and especially about their meaning, and we have not yet reached this point for most of medicine.

  • For this knowledge of right living, we have sought a new name... . As theology is the science of religious life, and biology the science of [physical] life ... so let Oekology be henceforth the science of [our] normal lives ... the worthiest of all the applied sciences which teaches the principles on which to found... healthy... and happy life.

  • Frequently, I have been asked if an experiment I have planned is pure or applied science; to me it is more important to know if the experiment will yield new and probably enduring knowledge about nature. If it is likely to yield such knowledge, it is, in my opinion, good fundamental research; and this is more important than whether the motivation is purely aesthetic satisfaction on the part of the experimenter on the one hand or the improvement of the stability of a high-power transistor on the other.

  • Why does this magnificent applied science which saves work and makes life easier bring us so little happiness? ... The simple answer runs: 'Because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it.'

    "Einstein Sees Lack In Applying Science; Man Has "Not Yet Learned To Make Sensible Use Of It," He Asserts. Cites War And Machinery He Urges California Students To Seek To Put Knowledge To Good Of The Race", www.nytimes.com. February 17, 1931.
  • The hardest problems of pure and applied science can only be solved by the open collaboration of the world-wide scientific community.

  • There is something which unites magic and applied science (technology) while separating them from the "wisdom" of earlier ages. For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline , and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique.
