Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.
Our national motto is 'In God we Trust,' reminding us that faith in our Creator is the most important American value of all.
Marco Rubio
Discern of the coming on of years, and think not to do the same things still; for age will not be defied.
Francis Bacon
How do you define God? Like this. A God I could understand, at least potentially, was infinitely more interesting and relevant than one that defied comprehension.
Robert J. Sawyer
My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don't fight it.
Whitney Houston
I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights.
Frank Miller
He hates chess. He says it is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something clever when they are only wasting their time.
George Bernard Shaw
I just don't know how to deal with so many people giving me that much affection. I never had that in my life.
Tupac Shakur
The private citizen, beset by partisan appeals for the loan of his Public Opinion, will soon see, perhaps, that these appeals are not a compliment to his intelligence, but an imposition on his good nature and an insult to his sense of evidence.
Walter Lippmann
Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.
Henry David Thoreau, Journal
When governments become large, voters cannot exercise close oversight, otherwise known as political power.
Maggie Gallagher
Not to believe in love is a great sign of dullness. There are some people so indirect and lumbering that they think all real affection must rest on circumstantial evidence.
George Santayana
I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.
Johnny Carson
Great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion.
Robert Burton
I have designed my style pantomimes as white ink drawings on black backgrounds, so that man's destiny appears as a thread lost in an endless labyrinth. I have tried to shed some gleams of light on the shadow of man startled by his anguish.
Marcel Marceau
Once we assuage our conscience by calling something a necessary evil, it begins to look more and more necessary and less and less evil.
Sydney J. Harris
So on May 1, 1987, at Gary's invitation, I agreed to see him one last time - to confront him face-to-face about his sincerity and with the intention of ending our brief relationship.
Donna Rice
I make all my decisions on intuition. I throw a spear into the darkness. That is intuition. Then I must send an army into the darkness to find the spear. That is intellect.
Ingmar Bergman
When I was on a major label I felt obliged to say yes to every interview, tour and whatever else. The label is always telling you, 'This ain't going to last,' so I worked myself half to death. I learnt from that and I like to pace myself now.
Adam Ant
Modern man's besetting temptation is to sacrifice his direct perceptions and spontaneous feelings to his reasoned reflections; to prefer in all circumstances the verdict of his intellect to that of his immediate intuitions.
Aldous Huxley
Every time a resolve or fine glow of feeling evaporates without bearing fruit, it is worse than a chance lost; it works to hinder future emotions from taking the normal path of discharge.
William James
Almost 70 percent of U.S. ag exports travel the upper Mississippi River and the Illinois waterway system.
Jerry Costello
But are not this struggle and even the mistakes one may make better, and do they not develop us more, than if we kept systematically away from emotions?
Vincent Van Gogh
I feel good because I believe I have made progress in rebuilding the people's trust in their government.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The intellect is always fooled by the heart.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
If one uses one's intellect to become master over the unlimited emotions, it may produce a sorry and diversionary effect upon the intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, AllT
I don't want to force my politics on my readers.
John Grisham
The elimination of the will altogether and the switching off of the emotions all and sundry, is tantamount to the elimination of reason: intellectual castration.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I intend to keep writing Christmas songs. There's still a lot more about Christmas that can be captured and feel like old-time Christmas. A lot of the traditions haven't been explained in song.
Clint Black
The results of this survey are shocking and should be a wake-up call to men and women that drinking and smoking too much not only gives you a bad headache in the morning but can affect your ability to start a family.
Ann Robinson
I think there is a tendency in science to measure what is measurable and to decide that what you cannot measure must be uninteresting.
Donald Norman
There is no character, howsoever good and fine, but it can be destroyed by ridicule, howsoever poor and witless. Observe the ass, for instance: his character is about perfect, he is the choicest spirit among all the humbler animals, yet see what ridicule has brought him to. Instead of feeling complimented when we are called an ass, we are left in doubt.
Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson, P
Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear--not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward, it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose misapplication of the word. Consider the flea!--incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage. Whether you are asleep or awake he will attack you, caring nothing for the fact that in bulk and strength you are to him as are the massed armies of the earth to a sucking child; he lives both day and night and all days and nights in the very lap of peril and the immediate presence of death, and yet is no more afraid than is the man who walks the streets of a city that was threatened by an earthquake ten centuries before. When we speak of Clive, Nelson, and Putnam as men who didn't know what fear was, we ought always to add the flea--and put him at the head of the procession.
Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility.
James Thurber
Vagueness and procrastination are ever a comfort to the frail in spirit.
John Updike, The Beauty of the L
Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.
Thurgood Marshall
Life ain't easy. Terrible things happen to everyone. You have to keep your sense of humor, give something of yourself to others, make friends who are younger than you, learn new things, and have fun.
George Vaillant
My kids are the future of the Mayweather family and of the Mayweather brand. I feel our family is stronger if we stay together.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Aging happy and well, instead of sad and sick, is at least under some personal control. We have considerable control over our weight, our exercise, our education, and our abuse of cigarettes and alcohol. With hard work and/or therapy, our relationships with our spouses and our coping styles can be changed for the better. A successful old age may lie not so much in our stars and genes as in ourselves.
I'm very comfortable with failure. I'm very comfortable being the guy who disappoints people.
Steven Soderbergh
