Quotations regarding 'Theory'

Choose a letter: 
Vietnam was a lie but at least there was a political agenda. It was the domino theory. Iraq is about nothing but George Bush's ego laced with imperialist ambitions. And it was helped by your government.
Donald Sutherland, Canadian Actor (1935-  )
Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy, not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it. Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory.
Jimmy Swaggart, American Clergyman (1935-  )
I know that a good many champions have entertained the thought that the more they discourage youngsters, the longer they would reign. However, this theory never impressed me, and I always made it a point to give youths the benefit of my experience in bicycle racing.
Major Taylor, American Athlete (1878-1932)
I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.
Hunter S. Thompson, American Journalist (1937-2005)
Whether the ice caps melt, or expand - whatever happens - the anthropogenic global warming theorists claim it confirms their theory. A perfect example of a pseudo-science like astrology.
Frank Tipler, Physicist
The crisis triggered a fertile period of scientific ferment and revolution in economic theory.
James Tobin, American Economist (1918-2002)
At the time, my personal research objectives were to provide Keynesian economics with more rigorous foundations and to tighten and elaborate the logic of macroeconomic and monetary theory.
James Tobin, American Economist (1918-2002)
I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.
Alexis de Tocqueville, French Scientist (1805-1859)
Life is so unlike theory.
Anthony Trollope, English Author (1815-1882)
From this bestial view that the human mind consists of only sense certainty, pleasure and pain, Locke developed an equally bestial theory of the nation. Man originally existed in a State of Nature of complete liberty.
Robert Trout, American Journalist (1909-2000)
Now the truth of the matter is that there are a lot of things people don't understand. Take the Einstein theory. Take taxes. Take love. Do you understand them? Neither do I. But they exist. They happen.
Dalton Trumbo, American Novelist (1905-1976)
And capital punishment, however ineffective it may be and through whatever ignorance it may be resorted to, is a strictly defensive act, - at least in theory.
Benjamin Tucker, American Activist (1854-1939)
Beautiful Evidence is about the theory and practice of analytical design.
Edward Tufte, American Educator (1942-  )
He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
Leonardo da Vinci, Italian Artist (1452-1519)
My theory was that what I had to do was make a study of human behavior.
A. E. van Vogt, Canadian Author (1912-2000)
On the spiritual theory, man consists essentially of a spiritual nature or mind intimately associated with a spiritual body or soul, both of which are developed in and by means of a material organism.
Alfred Russel Wallace, British Scientist (1823-1913)
Today, the theory of evolution is an accepted fact for everyone but a fundamentalist minority, whose objections are based not on reasoning but on doctrinaire adherence to religious principles.
James D. Watson, American Scientist (1928-  )
Radical constructivism, thus, is radical because it breaks with convention and develops a theory of knowledge in which knowledge does not reflect an 'objective' ontological reality.
Paul Watzlawick, Austrian Psychologist (1921-  )
Einstein explained his theory to me every day, and on my arrival I was fully convinced that he understood it.
Chaim Weizmann, Israeli Leader (1874-1952)
To hate is to study, to study is to understand, to understand is to appreciate, to appreciate is to love. So maybe I'll end up loving your theory.
John Archibald Wheeler, American Physicist (1911-2008)
