The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history.

I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it. I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others. I want to save and advance human life, not destroy it. I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill. The dove is my emblem. — Thomas A. Edison

Newton advanced, with one gigantic stride, from the regions of twilight into the noon day of science. A Boyle and a Hooke, who would otherwise have been deservedly the boast of their century, served but as obscure forerunners of Newton's glories. — Thomas Young
Too much openness and you accept every notion, idea, and hypothesis-which is tantamount to knowing nothing. Too much skepticism-especially rejection of new ideas before they are adequately tested-and you're not only unpleasantly grumpy, but also closed to the advance of science. A judicious mix is what we need. — Carl Sagan
Science advances, not by the accumulation of new facts, but by the continuous development of new concepts. — Sayings
Religion has run out of justifications. Thanks to the telescope and the microscope, it no longer offers an explanation of anything important.

Advances in science help to delegitimize the rule of kings and the power of the Church. — Karl Marx
