He who influences the thought of his times influences the times that follow.

So to live is heaven: To make undying music in the world, Breathing a beauteous order that controls With growing sway the growing life of man.

George Eliot

I've always seen the world through the eyes of a scientist. I love the predictable outcomes that science gives us, the control over the world that that can render.

Barbara Kingsolver

A man may devote himself to death and destruction to save a nation but no nation will devote itself to death and destruction to save mankind.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The difficulties which I meet with in order to realize my existence are precisely what awaken and mobilize my activities, my capacities.

When you doubt, abstain.

Zoroaster

Frank Carson

My husband gave me a necklace. It's fake. I requested fake. Maybe I'm paranoid, but in this day and age, I don't want something around my neck that's worth more than my head.

Rita Rudner

I'll have a full recovery - that's the utmost physically my body has the ability to heal. Then I will push about 20 percent further, through sheer mental tenacity. If you're not prepared for that, go elsewhere.

Anon., Navy Seal: a note he post

The voice of America has no undertones or overtones in it. It repeats its optimistic catchwords in a tireless monologue that has the slightly metallic sound of a gramophone.

Vance Palmer

Find enough clever things to say, and you're a Prime Minister; write them down and you're a Shakespeare.

George Bernard Shaw

I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping...I hear it in the deep heart's core.

W.B. Yeats
