A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.

The time has come when advertising in some hands has reached the status of a science.

Claude C. Hopkins

Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.

Sigmund Freud

If you're teaching a class, you can think about the elementary things that you know very well. These things are kind of fun and delightful. It doesn't do any harm to think them over again. Is there a better way to present them? The elementary things are easy to think about; if you can't think of a new thought, no harm done; what you thought about it before is good enough for the class. If you do think of something new, you're rather pleased that you have a new way of looking at it.The questions of the students are often the source of new research. They often ask profound questions that I've thought about at times and then given up on, so to speak, for a while. It wouldn't do me any harm to think about them again and see if I can go any further now. The students may not be able to see the thing I want to answer, or the subtleties I want to think about, but they remind me of a problem by asking questions in the neighborhood of that problem. It's not so easy to remind yourself of these things.

Richard Feynman, The Dignified P

The secret of success is to realize that the crisis on our planet is much larger than just deciding what to do with your own life, and if the system under which we live the structure of western civilization begins to collapse because of our selfishness and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have $1 million dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00. The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.

Marianne Williamson

No one has ever said it, but how painfully true it is that the poor have us always with them.

Hector Hugh Munro

Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.

Albert Einstein

The determination to win is the better part of winning.

Daisaku Ikeda

It is a way we reassess our past. We can do that in poetry in ways we can't do in prose.

Peter Davison

The Silent majority is silent, and that is best for everybody.

Gerhard Kocher

It is playing safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.

Dag Hammarskjold

The self-image is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.
