Scientific Truth is Truth Without Fear

Remember, then, that scientific thought is the guide of action; that the truth at which it arrives is not that which we can ideally contemplate without error, but that which we may act upon without fear; and you cannot fail to see that scientific thought is not an accompaniment of human progress, but human progress itself.

Notes:

It is the best we have, not perfect, but progress.
