Everyone knows that Ernest Rutherford said (quite unfairly,
most non-physicists feel), that all science is either physics 
or stamp collecting.  Here are a couple of other Rutherford
comments:

1.  "You should never bet against anything in science at odds of 
more than about 10^12 to 1."  (About the amount of respect that
people like Brady and Velokovsky deserve)

2. "The only possible interpretation of any research whatever
in the 'Social Sciences' is: some do, some don't."
