A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学校
School
Scientific progress makes moral progress a necessity; for if man's power is increased, the checks that restrain him from abusing it must be strengthened.

Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission.

我喜欢历史作品。历史是我在学校最喜欢的科目,它是我唯一擅长的科目。我喜欢历史的观念,喜欢我们有机会从过去的错误中吸取教训的观念。
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
