"It would be wrong to assume that one must stay with a research programme until it has exhausted all its heuristic power, that one must not introduce a rival programme before everybody agrees that the point of degeneration has probably been reached."
Power

"Indeed, this epistemological theory of the relation between theory and experiment differs sharply from the epistemological theory of naive falsificationism."
Theory
"There is no falsification before the emergence of a better theory."
Theory
"Our empirical criterion for a series of theories is that it should produce new facts. The idea of growth and the concept of empirical character are soldered into one."
Creativity

Faith
"The classical example of a successful research programme is Newton's gravitational theory: possibly the most successful research programme ever."
Success
"Blind commitment to a theory is not an intellectual virtue: it is an intellectual crime."
Planning
"Einstein's results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is, or can be, proven knowledge."
