In the fall of 1961, I went up to Clare College Cambridge to read Natural Sciences, with the intention of becoming a biochemist in the end. -- Tim Hunt
I believe sanity and realism can be restored to the teaching of Mathematical Statistics most easily and directly by entrusting such teaching largely to men and women who have had personal experience of research in the Natural Sciences. -- Ronald Fisher
From 1949 to 1953, I studied towards the diploma in Natural Sciences at the Swiss Polytechnical School in Zurich. It is in the last year of this study that I made my first contacts with fundamental research, when working on the isolation and characterization of a new isomer of Cl34 with a half-life of 1.5 seconds. -- Werner Arber
Laws are important and valuable in the exact natural sciences, in the measure that those sciences are universally valid. -- Max Weber
In a few decades of reconstruction, even the mathematical natural sciences, the ancient archetypes of theoretical perfection, have changed habit completely! -- Edmund Husserl
It should now be clear why the method of Philosophy is so different from that of the natural sciences. Experiments are not made, because they would be utterly useless. -- Charles D. Broad
The progress of the natural sciences in modern times has of course so much exceeded all expectations that any suggestion that there may be some limits to it is bound to arouse suspicion. -- Friedrich August von Hayek
A technical solution may be defined as one that requires a change only in the techniques of the natural sciences, demanding little or nothing in the way of change in human values or ideas of morality. -- Garrett Hardin
The grounding in natural sciences which I obtained in the course of my medical studies, including preliminary examinations in botany, zoology, physics, and chemistry, was to become decisive in determining the trend of my literary work. -- Johannes V. Jensen
I started off thinking that maybe the social sciences ought to have the kinds of mathematics that the natural sciences had. That works a little bit in economics because they talk about costs, prices and quantities of goods. -- Herbert A. Simon
There's this old saying that, if you aren't particularly gifted in natural sciences, if you don't want to become a teacher or pastor or doctor, and don't know what else to do, then you become a lawyer. But I've never regretted it. -- Bernhard Schlink
If we conceive all the changes in the physical world as reducible to the motion of atoms, motions generated by means of the fixed nuclear forces of those atoms, the whole of the world could thus be known by means of the natural sciences. -- Wilhelm Dilthey
The social sciences offer equal promise for improving human welfare; our lives can be greatly improved through a deeper understanding of individual and collective behavior. But to realize this promise, the social sciences, like the natural sciences, need to match their institutional structures to today's intellectual challenges. -- Nicholas A. Christakis
I have never suggested any principled difference between the natural and social sciences. -- Noam Chomsky
Astronomy was the cradle of the natural sciences and the starting point of geometrical theories. -- Cornelius Lanczos
The progress of mankind is due exclusively to the progress of natural sciences, not to morals, religion or philosophy. -- Justus von Liebig
In the natural sciences, and particularly in chemistry, generalities must come after the detailed knowledge of each fact and not before it. -- Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
The enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and there is no rational explanation of it. -- Eugene Wigner
--
The biology of mind bridges the sciences - concerned with the natural world - and the humanities - concerned with the meaning of human experience. -- Eric Kandel
I have this extraordinary curiosity about all subjects of the natural and human world and the interaction between the physical sciences and the social sciences. -- Ian Hacking
There are few humanities that could surpass in discipline, in beauty, in emotional and aesthetic satisfaction, those humanities which are called mathematics, and the natural sciences. -- Robert Watson-Watt
The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you. -- Werner Heisenberg
The book one must read to learn natural sciences is the book of nature. The book from which to learn religion is your own mind and heart. -- Swami Vivekananda
The methods of the natural sciences cannot be applied to human behavior because this behaviorlacks the peculiarity that characterizes events in the field of the natural sciences, viz., regularity. -- Ludwig von Mises
Darwin was a biological evolutionist, because he was first a uniformitarian geologist. Biology is pre-eminent to-day among the natural sciences, because its younger sister, Geology, gave it the means. -- Darwin

Physics was the first of the natural sciences to become fully modern and highly mathematical.Chemistry followed in the wake of physics, but biology, the retarded child, lagged far behind. -- Michael Crichton
But there is another reason for the high repute of mathematics: it is mathematics that offers the exact natural sciences a certain measure of security which, without mathematics, they could not attain. -- Albert Einstein
Astronomy is, not without reason, regarded, by mankind, as the sublimest of the natural sciences. Its objects so frequently visible, and therefore familiar, being always remote and inaccessible, do not lose their dignity. -- Benjamin Silliman
The most vitally characteristic fact about mathematics is, in my opinion, its quite peculiar relationship to the natural sciences, or more generally, to any science which interprets experience on a higher than purely descriptive level. -- John von Neumann
