Although a system may cease to exist in the legal sense or as a structure of power, its values (or anti-values), its philosophy, its teachings remain in us. They rule our thinking, our conduct, our attitude to others. The situation is a demonic paradox: we have toppled the system but we still carry its genes.

The number of stressors has multiplied exponentially: traffic, money, success, work/life balance, the economy, the environment, parenting, family conflict, relationships, disease. As the nature of human life has become far more complicated, our ancient stress response hasn't been able to keep up.

Andrew Bernstein

Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.

Thomas Huxley

As a team, you need to come from behind every once in awhile just to do it. Good for the attitude. It makes it exciting. And when everybody knows you have to throw it... that makes it fun too.

Dan Marino

A merry Christmas to everybody A happy New Year to all the world

Charles Dickens

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.

Moli

A life lesson for me is, how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it's starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker.

Ann Bancroft

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.

Friedrich Nietzsche

One of the enduring problems with certain societies in the world - and this is certainly true of a lot of places in the Middle East - is that the capacity for self-governance and self-organizing just isn't there. It has to do with history.

P. J. O'Rourke

The 10,000 Hour Rule - All of us have some measure of greatness within us. But it has to be cultivated. It takes hours of hard work, usually about 10,000 hours, especially when one is young.

Michio Kaku, Ph. D., Physics pro

Words are poor interpreters in the realms of emotion. When all words end, music begins; when they suggest, it realizes; and hence is the secret of its strange, inexpressible power.

H. R. Haweis

I cannot imagine any writer who would not fight for his peace and quiet.

Wislawa Szymborska

One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.
