We hate the kindness which we understand.

Buy good books, and read them; the best books are the commonest, and the last editions are always the best, if the editors are not blockheads.

Lord Chesterfield

It's funny. When we were alive we spent much of our time staring up at the cosmos and wondering what was out there. We were obsessed with the moon and whether we could one day visit it. The day we finally walked on it was celebrated worldwide as perhaps man's greatest achievement. But it was while we were there, gathering rocks from the moon's desolate landscape, that we looked up and caught a glimpse of just how incredible our own planet was. Its singular astonishing beauty. We called her Mother Earth. Because she gave birth to us, and then we sucked her dry.

Jon Stewart

In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and the future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line. You will pardon some obscurities, for there are more secrets in my trade than in most men's, and yet not voluntarily kept, but inseparable from its very nature.

Henry David Thoreau

Human benevolence is mingled with vanity, interest, or some other motive

Samuel Johnson

Americans have always had an ambivalent attitude toward intelligence. When they feel threatened, they want a lot of it, and when they don't, they regard the whole thing as somewhat immoral.

Vernon A. Walters

It seems that this situation is not restricted to science but is more generally human.

Felix Bloch

While weight loss is important, what's more important is the quality of food you put in your body - food is information that quickly changes your metabolism and genes.

Mark Hyman

Ese mismo año, un grupo de astrónomos encabezado por Cornell H. Mayer recibió ondas deradio procedentes de Venus y quedó atónito al ver que la intensidad de esas ondas equivalía a la quecabía esperar de un objeto mucho más caliente de lo que se creía que era Venus. De ser eso cierto, nopodría haber océano planetario en Venus; de hecho, no podía haber agua líquida de ninguna clase (y asíse echó a perder mi pobre novela, que sólo hacía dos años que había sido publicada).

Isaac Asimov

To make men Socialists is nothing, but to make Socialism human is a great thing.

Oscar Wilde

The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word.

Mata Hari

This has been a learning experience for me. I also thought that privacy was something we were granted in the Constitution. I have learned from this when in fact the word privacy does not appear in the Constitution.

Bill Maher

Each of us has been put on earth with the ability to do something well. We cheat ourselves and the world if we don't use that ability as best we can.

George Allen, Sr.
