Quotes
A greater gain to the world...than all the growth of scientific knowledge is the growth of the scientific spirit, with its courage and serenity, its disciplined conscience, its intellectual morality, its habitual response to any disclosure of the truth.
Epigraph in W. T. Sedgwick and H. W. Tyler, A Short History of Science (New York: Macmillan, 1917) p. vi
