Surrender

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, science
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Science seems to me to teach in the highest and strongest manner the great truth which is embodied in the Christian conception of entire surrender to the will of God. Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.”

—Thomas Henry Huxley, letter to Charles Kingsley, September 23, 1860
