A contemporary man who has not participated intimately in actual work in science is, in my opinion, not a modern man. I believe that this experience in science should come early in the life of all of our pupils.

We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.

Henry Ward Beecher

Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death.

Edna Ferber

You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditions of work, and still they will remain unsatisfied. You can deny them all these things, and they will not complain so long as they feel that they have something to die for.

Christopher Dawson

No way, because there's love relationships, there's sex relationships and then there's the band.

Ann Wilson

We must not wish anything other than what happens from moment to moment, all the while, however, exercising ourselves in goodness.

St. Catherine of Genoa

If you want an open society, you have to put up with the chaos.

Bowyer Bell

I found myself very lost after 'The Partridge Family,' and I lost my dad and I lost my manager, and I lived in a bubble, and it took me 15 years to get through that and a lot of psychotherapy, and I'm laughing about it now!

David Cassidy

The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality.

Shimon Peres

To smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another's breast is to become a principal in the mischief.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Green politics at its worst amounts to a sort of Zen fascism; less extreme, it denounces growth and seeks to stop the world so that we can all get off.

Chris Patten

Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.

Johann von Goethe

If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.
