Fear breeds cowardice, and cowardice compels bravery.

The research rat of the future allows experimentation without manipulation of the real world. This is the cutting edge of modeling technology.

John Spencer

Past boldness is no assurance of future boldness. Boldness demands continual reliance on God's spirit.

Andy Stanley

It was very still. The tree was tall and straggling. It had thrown its briers over a hawthorn-bush, and its long streamers trailed thick, right down to the grass, splashing the darkness everywhere with great spilt stars, pure white. In bosses of ivory and in large splashed stars the roses gleamed on the darkness of foliage and stems and grass. Paul and Miriam stood close together, silent, and watched. Point after point the steady roses shone out to them, seeming to kindle something in their souls. The dusk came like smoke around, and still did not put out the roses.

D.H. Lawrence

Computer science only indicates the retrospective omnipotence of our technologies. In other words, an infinite capacity to process data (but only data -- i.e. the already given) and in no sense a new vision. With that science, we are entering an era of exhaustivity, which is also an era of exhaustion.

Jean Baudrillard

When you have a background in combat sports, people think you're this martial arts expert, but really I'm just a guy who is able to do certain things without making a mess of himself.

Rick Yune

What is to absurd to be believed is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie.

Robert Jordan

Get people back into the kitchen and combat the trend toward processed food and fast food.

Andrew Weil

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.

Vincent Van Gogh

But human beings are like that, she thought. We've replaced nearly all our emotions with fear.

Paulo Coelho

An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it makes a better soup.

Bertrand Russell

Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice.

Maria Corazon Aquino

Nothing succeeds, they say, like success. And certainly nothing fails like failure.
