Christian Doppler quotes

Christian Doppler was an Austrian physicist and mathematician, recognized for discovering the Doppler effect. His work explained how the frequency of waves changes for an observer moving relative to the source. He influenced fields such as astronomy, medicine, and meteorology. Here is 1 of his quotes:

There have been applied sciences throughout the ages. ... However this so-called practice was not much more than paper in nearly all of these cases, and the various applied sciences were only lacking a bagatelle, namely proper scientific practice. The applied sciences show the application of theoretic doctrines in existing events; but that is precisely what it does, it merely shows. Whereas the scientific practice autonomously puts to use these theories. (Christian Doppler)
