thought of the day.383

“The age of science is the age of uncertainty. No more eternal answers console the human heart. No more changeless doctrines pacify the human mind. Religious dogma has been replaced by the humility of testing. Mythical fantasy has yielded to the stingy help of public experience.

The age of science is the age of courage. Bravery is not possible when all is predictable. Only the danger of surprise gives persons the dignity of true freedom. The hero of modern times is no fanatic believer. He is the person of patience who is strong enough to live with uncertainty. He is the person of integrity who is honest enough to wait for what he cannot totally explain.”
