Do your duty, that is best; leave unto the Lord the rest.

if you continue to think about what other people will say or think about you when you do something right or wrong, you will always end up doing what other want you to do and you will never do what you want to do.

Stephen Ocansey

The second office in the government is honorable and easy the first is but a splendid misery.

Thomas Jefferson

A permanent base on Mars would have a number of advantages beyond being a bonanza for planetary science and geology. If, as some evidence suggests, exotic micro-organisms have arisen independently of terrestrial life, studying them could revolutionise biology, medicine and biotechnology.

Paul Davies

Honor is unstable and seldom the same; for she feeds upon opinion, and is as fickle as her food.

Charles Caleb Colton

All women who kill or have sexual obsessions or who are prostitutes have trouble with their fathers.

Catherine Deneuve

People who have accomplished work worthwhile have had a very high sense of the way to do things. They have not been content with mediocrity. They have not confined themselves to the beaten tracks; they have never been satisfied to do things just as others so them, but always a little better. They always pushed things that came to their hands a little higher up, this little farther on, that counts in the quality of life's work. It is constant effort to be first-class in everything one attempts that conquers the heights of excellence.

Orison Swett Marden

Words can sting like anything, but silence breaks the heart.

Phyllis McGinley

As man draws nearer to the stars, why should he not also draw nearer to his neighbor?

Lyndon B. Johnson

If the world is to be understood, if we are to avoid such logical paradoxes when traveling at high speeds, there are some rules, commandments of Nature, that must be obeyed. Einstein codified these rules in the special theory of relativity. Light (reflected or emitted) from an object travels at the same velocity whether the object is moving or stationary: Thou shalt not add thy speed to the speed of light. Also, no material object may move faster than light: Thou shalt not travel at or beyond the speed of light. Nothing in physics prevents you from traveling as close to the speed of light as you like; 99.9 percent of the speed of light would be just fine. But no matter how hard you try, you can never gain that last decimal point. For the world to be logically consistent there must be a cosmic speed limit. Otherwise, you could get to any speed you wanted by adding velocities on a moving platform.

Carl Sagan

By a Carpenter mankind was made, and only by that Carpenter can mankind be remade.

Desiderius Erasmus

God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
