The Oath of the Scientist
Nov. 12th, 2010 09:08 amI swear to use my scientific knowledge for the good of Humanity. I promise never to harm any person in my search for enlightenment.
I shall be courageous and careful in my quest for greater knowledge about the mysteries that surround us. I shall not use scientific knowledge for my own personal gain or give it to those who seek to destroy the wonderful planet on which we live.
If I break this oath, may the beauty and wonder of the Universe forever remain hidden from me.
~ from "George's Secret Key to the Universe" by Lucy & Stephen Hawking with Christophe Galfard.
