The improver of natural knowledge absolutely refuses to acknowledge authority, as such. For him, skepticism is the highest of duties; blind faith the one unpardonable sin.
Thomas Huxley
The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.
Thomas Huxley

Thomas Huxley
History warns us that it is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions.
Thomas Huxley
The scientific imagination always restrains itself within the limits of probability.
Thomas Huxley
Patience and tenacity are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.
Thomas Huxley
Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men.
Thomas Huxley
The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Thomas Huxley
The great thing in the world is not so much to seek happiness as to earn peace and self-respect.
Thomas Huxley
Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
Thomas Huxley
The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher.
Thomas Huxley
Science and literature are not two things, but two sides of one thing.
Thomas Huxley
The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification.
Thomas Huxley
