I always say beauty is only sin deep.

Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Those that will not hear must be made to feel.

Proverb

There is great force hidden in a gentle command.

George Herbert

I think one of the great historical contributions of science is to weaken the hold of religion. That's a good thing.

Steven Weinberg

Bill Keller

It is no secret that the fruits of language study are in no sort of relation to the labour spent on teaching and learning them.

Edward Sapir

I watched the spinning stars, grateful, sad and proud, as only a man who has outlived his destiny and realizes he might yet forge himself another, can be.

Roger Zelazny

I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

Albert Einstein

Most human organizations that fall short of their goals do so not because of stupidity or faulty doctrines, but because of internal decay and rigidification. They grow stiff in the joints. They get in a rut. They go to seed.

James Garfield

Rachel Carson

Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.

Ronald Reagan

Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men.

Mortimer Adler
