Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.

We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship.

E. M. Forster

When we talk to God, we're praying. When God talks to us, we're schizophrenic.

Jane Wagner

No Geologist worth anything is permanently bound to a desk or laboratory, but the charming notion that true science can only be based on unbiased observation of nature in the raw is mythology. Creative work, in geology and anywhere else, is interaction and synthesis: half-baked ideas from a bar room, rocks in the field, chains of thought from lonely walks, numbers squeezed from rocks in a laboratory, numbers from a calculator riveted to a desk, fancy equipment usually malfunctioning on expensive ships, cheap equipment in the human cranium, arguments before a road cut.

Stephen Jay Gould

Success is the sum of details.

Harvey S. Firestone

Sweet is the lore which nature brings,our meddeling interlectmis-shapes the beautious forms of things.we murder to dissect

William Wordsworth

Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world usually do.

Steve Jobs

One out of four people in this country is mentally imbalanced. Think of your three closest friends. If they seem okay, then you're the one.

Ann Landers

Other countries, such as Israel, successfully employ behavior detection techniques at their airports, but the bloated, ineffective bureaucracy of TSA has produced another security failure for U.S. transportation systems.

John Mica

Where a great proportion of the people are suffered to languish in helpless misery, that country must be ill policed, and wretchedly governed: a decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization

Samuel Johnson

Manners make the fortune of the ambitious youth

Ralph Waldo Emerson

And verily, a woman need know but one man well, in order to understand all men whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them.

Helen Rowland

I want to do as little as possible when I finish playing ball - just spend a lot more time with my family.
