Wikiquote:Quote of the day/May 24, 2011

From Wikiquote
 


Magic words and incantations are as fatal to our science as they are to any other. Methods, when classified and separated, acquire their true bearing and perspective as a means to an end, not as ends in themselves. We seek to find peace of mind in the word, the formula, the ritual. The hope is illusion.

~ Benjamin N. Cardozo ~
