No theory is good unless it permits not rest but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.

Some men have a silly theory about beautiful women - that somewhere along the line they'll turn into a monster. That movie gave them a chance to watch it happen.

While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial gossip among men especially if it is about women is called theory or idea or fact.

The Dell Theory of Conflict Prevention argues that no two countries that are both part of the same global supply chain will ever fight a war as long as they are each part of that supply chain.

You don't attack the grunts of Vietnam you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It's the same thing with psychotherapy.

By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may perceive Truth.

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

I am not the kind of girl who can trust a theory based on one person.

What has any poet to trust more than the feel of the thing? Theory concerns him only until he picks up his pen and it begins to concern him again as soon as he lays it down.

I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time somehow things will work out in the end.

If we do discover a complete theory it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all philosophers scientists and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.

I have a theory because I was being beaten up a lot by people outside of school it was almost like if I could make myself sick enough they'd take sympathy on me.

I have a theory and I really believe it. I think your worst weakness can become your greatest single strength.

Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.

Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it. Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory.

Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: you are the one who is wrong. If a kid is having trouble or is discouraged the problem is not just inside the kid it's also in the system the society.

Land: A part of the earth's surface considered as property. The theory that land is property subject to private ownership and control is the foundation of modern society and is eminently worthy of the superstructure.

I think I've always had a certain amount of skepticism of this whole 'shut up and smile' theory. I haven't ever swallowed that pill so easily although I tried.

The further a mathematical theory is developed the more harmoniously and uniformly does its construction proceed and unsuspected relations are disclosed between hitherto separated branches of the science.

The theory of undirected evolution is already dead but the work of science continues.

Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual condition of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtler than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence not mastery.

The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity.

Don't confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation the latter the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science.

The 'science' for which the United States is respected has nothing to do with the unscientific and baseless theory of evolution.
