Education is the key to the future: You've heard it a million times, and it's not wrong. Educated people have higher wages and lower unemployment rates, and better-educated countries grow faster and innovate more than other countries. But going to college is not enough. You also have to study the right subjects.

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.

Donald Rumsfeld

You don't need to pray to God any more when there are storms in the sky, but you do have to be insured.

Bertolt Brecht

Jonathan Swift

Francis Bacon

I used to skip out of high school and go flying. It was just one of those things, I thought it was kind of a cool thing to do.

Jerry Doyle

Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.

Adam Smith

Fear only two: God, and the man who has no fear of God.

Proverb

To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly larger regions of space and time is science.

Hannes Alfven

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

Ernest Hemingway

Flawed, we're truly interesting, truly memorable, and yes, truly beautiful.
