Science cannot progress without reliable and accurate measurement of what it is you are trying to study. The key is measurement, simple as that.
~ Robert D. Hare
Medical science has proven time and again that when the resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure, and prevention of disease can occur.

~ Charles Darwin
One can not impede scientific progress.
~ Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
The progress of science is strewn, like an ancient desert trail, with the bleached skeleton of discarded theories which once seemed to possess eternal life.

~ Émile Zola
Mass application of technological innovations, which constitutes much of the distinctive substance of modern economic growth, is closely connected with the further progress of science, in its turn the basis for additional advance in technology.
~ Simon Kuznets
The indigenous peoples never had, and still do not have, the place that they should have occupied in the progress and benefits of science and technology, although they represented an important basis for this development.
~ Rigoberta Menchu
Indeed, we often mark our progress in science by improvements in imaging.
~ Martin Chalfie
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
~ Gaston Bachelard
Certainly, it may bring to light such a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter as to constitute a veritable discontinuity in the progress of science.
~ Ernest Lawrence
I think mistakes are the essence of science and law. It's impossible to conceive of either scientific progress or legal progress without understanding the important role of being wrong and of mistakes.
~ Alan Dershowitz
Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.
~ Woodrow Wilson
Science is the first expression of punk, because it doesn't advance without challenging authority. It doesn't make progress without tearing down what was there before and building upon the structure.
~ Greg Graffin
I have always believed that 98% of a student's progress is due to his own efforts, and 2% to his teacher.
~ John Philip Sousa
Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.
~ Alfred Adler
Cinema sustains life. It captures death in its progress.

~ Ban Ki-Moon
We will not build a society that reflects who we are and that has opportunities for equality or justice if we don't make progress for all participants.
~ Mitchell Baker
I believe that as women, we must commit ourselves to sustaining the progress made by our foremothers who fought so hard for women's equality and liberation.
~ Carre Otis
When I look at my daughter, who's 24, she is much more confident than I ever was and her expectations are higher. But I worry that there is a backlash brewing against progress on equality.
~ Frances O'grady
As we celebrate the considerable progress we've made toward full equality in our military, we cannot forget about those who continue to suffer because of the discriminatory policies of our past.
~ Mark Pocan
There are a lot of things that fit on a bumper sticker in terms of either liberty or equality or progress that when made more concrete just don't pan out.
~ Laurence Tribe
The United States has made remarkable progress in reducing both teen pregnancy and racial and ethnic differences, but the reality is, too many American teens are still having babies.
~ Tom Frieden
We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill... it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress.
~ Li Ka-Shing
Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that's partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.
~ Sheryl Sandberg
Obedience to the law of chastity will increase our happiness in mortality and make possible our progress in eternity.
~ David A. Bednar
Natural life, lived naturally as it is lived in the countryside, has none of that progress which is the base of happiness. Men and women in rural communities can be compared to a spring that rises out of a rock and spreads in irregular ever-widening circles. But the general principle is static.
~ Patrick Kavanagh
Our vision and commitment is towards the country's progress, its place in the world and the happiness of its people.

~ Louis D. Brandeis
Each morning my characters greet me with misty faces willing, though chilled, to muster for another day's progress through the dazzling quicksand the marsh of blank paper.
~ John Updike
People don't want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology - all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why.
~ Peter Thiel
The exact measure of the progress of civilization is the degree in which the intelligence of the common mind has prevailed over wealth and brute force.
~ George Bancroft
Prediction is structurally inseparable from the business of punditry: It creates the essential image of indefatigable authority that is punditry's very architecture; it flows from that calcified image, and it provides the substance for the story that keeps getting told about the inevitability of American progress.
~ Rick Perlstein
Architecture will always express the technical and social progress of the country in which it is carried out. If we wish to give it the human content that it lacks, we must participate in the political struggle.
~ Oscar Niemeyer
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
~ Henry Van Dyke
