Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.

Charles de Gaulle

It is false zeal to keep truth while wounding charity

Blaise Pascal

Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals.

Sir John Denham

Effective science teaching calls for active contact with research and that teachers need to mingle with other scientists and to know what is going on in the field.

Alan Tower Waterman

Science, in all its greatness, is still subject to human creativity. It starts the first moment a child tries to reach up and grab at the clouds. Soon, the child learns that his own hands cannot reach the sky, but his hands are not the limit of his potential. For the human brain observes, considers, understands, and adapts. Locked within the mind is infinite possibility.

Yukito Kishiro

Old age though despised, is coveted by all.

Proverb

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.

Anon.

The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.

Thomas Moore

I thought: That is the fear: I have lost something important, and I cannot find it, and I need it. It is fear like if someone lost his glasses and went to the glasses store they told him that the world had run out of glasses and he would just have to do without.

John Green

My mum was raised Jewish, my dad is very scientifically minded, and my school was vaguely Christian. We sang hymns in school. I liked the hymns bit, but apart from that, I can take it or leave it. So I had lots of different influences when I was younger.

Ben Barnes

The whole problem is to establish communication with ones self.
