In beef trade issues, we base our decisions upon science.

It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

We've removed the ceiling above our dreams. There are no more impossible dreams.

Jesse Jackson

In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.

Henry David Thoreau

Better to die in the pursuit of civilized values, we believed, than in a flight underground. We were offering a value system couched in the language of science.

John Charles Polanyi

To get away from poverty, you need several things at the same time: school, health, and infrastructure - those are the public investments. And on the other side, you need market opportunities, information, employment, and human rights.

Hans Rosling

Hell is full of musical amateurs.

George Bernard Shaw

The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences.

Henry David Thoreau, The Writing

The tendancy of liberals is to create bodies of men and women of all classes detached from tradition, alienated from religion, and susceptible to mass suggestion mob rule. And a mob will be no less a mob if it is well fed, well clothed, well housed, and well disciplined.

George Eliot

I believe one would write better if the climate were bad. If there were a lot of wind and storms for example...

Aldous Huxley

Life isn't all fricasseed frogs and eel pie. -Puddleglum in The Silver Chair

C.S. Lewis

All successful men have agreed in one thing -- they were causationists. They believed that things went not by luck, but by law; that there was not a weak or a cracked link in the chain that joins the first and last of things.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.

Luigi Pirandello
