Justified Assumptions Quotes

My practice as a scientist is atheistic. That is to say, when I set up an experiment I assume that no god, angel or devil is going to interfere with its course; and this assumption has been justified by such success as I have achieved in my professional career. I should therefore be intellectually dishonest if I were not also atheistic in the affairs of the world.

You can't always expect people to apply your wisdom when they didn't use wisdom before they found themselves knee deep in their version of justice.
