You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong. (Warren Buffett)
Jacob Bronowski(1908 – 1974) A Polish-Jewish British mathematician, biologist, historian of science, theatre author, poet and inventor. He is best remembered as the presenter and writer of the 1973 BBC television documentary series, The Ascent of Man, and the accompanying book. Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature. No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power. The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself. We are all afraid for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man, every civilization, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do. |
