Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.

People Some people are like wheelbarrows; useful only when pushed, and very easily upset. The time to stop talking is when the other person nods his head affirmatively but says nothing.

Henry S. Haskins

The most unhappy and frail creatures are men and yet they are the proudest.

Michel de Montaigne

W. H. Auden

So I can't show you how, exactly, health care is a basic human right. But what I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable.

Paul Farmer

Poor little Foal of an oppressed race! I love the languid patience of thy face.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Charity is the scope of all God's commands.

St. John Chrysosatom

James De La Vega

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

William Wordsworth

If our nation goes over a financial Niagara, we won't have much strength and, eventually, we won't have peace. We are currently borrowing the entire defense budget from foreign investors. Within a few years, we will be spending more on interest payments than on national security. That is not, as our military friends say, a 'robust strategy.'

Mitch Daniels

Thomas B. Macaulay

We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.

Henry David Thoreau
