William Henry Bragg Quotes

• De la religión proviene el propósito del hombre; de la ciencia, su poder para alcanzarlo. A veces la gente se pregunta si la religión y la ciencia no son opuestas. Lo son: en el sentido en que se oponen el pulgar y los dedos de mis manos. Es una oposición mediante la cual se puede asir cualquier cosa.

• Science is experimental, moving forward step-by-step, making trial and learning through success and failure. Is not this also the way of religion, and especially of the Christian religion? The writings of those who preach the religion have from the very beginning insisted that it is to be proved by experience. If a man is drawn towards honour and courage and endurance, justice, mercy, and charity, let him follow the way of Christ and find out for himself. No findings in science hinder him in that way.
