 Science Quotes
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

 A Dictionary of Scientific Quotations
No doubt those who really founded modern science were usually those whose love of truth exceeded their love of power; in every mixed movement the efficacy comes from the good elements not from the bad.
The most important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplemented in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote.
Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.

 Science and Natural Science (The Nation, April 25, 1872)
The term science, when used absolutely, applies properly to the system of rules which govern the art of investigating truth.
Moreover, on this fundamental stage it is hardly possible to distinguish science and art; the science of thinking and the art of investigating truth become coincident.
But if one turns back to the true source of the great scientific principles that is, pure science-one may properly say of that it is the true mistress of all study, investigation, and education.

In 1872, we had reached that point in time and development when a reservoir of knowledge was ready to pour its stream over the spillway onto the water wheel of practical application.
Back of applied science always would stand pure science, the search for fundamental truth and the establishment of scientific principles; but that truth and those principles would be interlocked henceforth.

It may be thought that this was necessarily the case, because when the prophets and apostles wrote, science in the modern sense of the term was unborn.

Perhaps predictably, given the absence of science from the curriculum in girls’ schools and in the focusing on home accomplishments that characterised almost all the magazines for girls, there was very little science in their pages.
As awareness of the need for more science in the curriculum in the 1870s permeated down to schools, so children’s magazines were able to present scientific information in a manner which made it possible for young readers to enjoy simple and safe experiments.
