I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.

I think happiness comes from self-acceptance. We all try different things, and we find some comfortable sense of who we are. We look at our parents and learn and grow and move on. We change.

Jamie Lee Curtis

To err is human; to admit it, superhuman.

Doug Larson

If a man truly wants to communicate with his wife, he must enter her world of emotions.

Gary Smalley

An individual human existence should be like a river

Bertrand Russell, How to Grow Ol

I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few.

Benjamin Disraeli

A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.

Joseph Jefferson

Molecular biology has shown that even the simplest of all living systems on the earth today, bacterial cells, are exceedingly complex objects. Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, weighing less than 10-12 gms, each is in effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world.

Michael Denton

Every landscape appears first of all as a vast chaos . . . . But the most majestic meaning of all is surely that which precedes and, commands and, to a large extent, explains the others. . . . My aim is to recapture the master-meaning, which may be obscure but of which each of the others is a partial or distorted transposition. . . . I quite naturally looked upon Freud's theories as the application to the human being of a method the basic pattern of which is represented by geology. . . . Marxism, psychoanalysis and geology demonstrate that understanding consists in reducing one type of reality to another; that the true reality is never the most obvious; and that the nature of truth is already indicated by the care it takes to remain elusive. . . . But I had learned from my three sources of inspiration that the transition between one order and the other is discontinuous; that to reach reality one has first to reject experience, and then subsequently to reintegrate it into an objective synthesis devoid of any sentimentality.

Claude LeviStrauss, Tristes Trop

He was defeated 2000 years ago though there's many that feel that he is The Lord and that they will succeed.

James Dye

Everybody has to be able to participate in a future that they want to live for. That's what technology can do.

Dean Kamen

Never tickle a sleeping dragon.
