• Without any doubt, the regularity which astronomy shows us in the movements of the comets takes place in all phenomena. The trajectory of a simple molecule of air or vapour is regulated in a manner as certain as that of the planetary orbits; the only difference between them is that which is contributed by our ignorance. Probability is relative in part to this ignorance, and in part to our knowledge.

  Pierre-Simon Laplace

• Un distinguido filósofo ha dicho que Inglaterra "suele ser la última en entrar en el movimiento general de la mente europea". El autor de la observación probablemente quiso afirmar que un hombre o un sistema pueden haberse hecho famosos en el continente, mientras que nosotros casi ignoramos el nombre del hombre y las pretensiones de su sistema. Tal vez, sin embargo, se podría dar un alcance más amplio a la afirmación. Una teoría destruida o una práctica desventajosa, como un rebelde o un patriota en apuros, busca refugio en nuestras costas para pasar sus últimos días con comodidad, si no con esplendor.

• Cuando la movilidad entre clases sociales se hace prácticamente imposible, creo que es el principio del fin de un país. Y como la educación es tan fundamental para el éxito en este país, si no encontramos la manera de crear una mayor movilidad entre las clases sociales, creo que será el principio del fin.

• The laws expressing the relations between energy and matter are, however, not solely of importance in pure science.

• The world is not as it was when it came from its Maker's hands. It has been modified by many great revolutions, brought about by an inner mechanism of which we very imperfectly comprehend the movements; but of which we gain a glimpse by studying their effects: and their many causes still acting on the surface of our globe with undiminished power, which are changing, and will continue to change it, as long as it shall last.
