Constrained optimization is the art of compromise between conflicting objectives. This is what design is all about.

William A. Dembski

Idealism increases in direct proportion to one's distance from the problem.

John Galsworthy

When you are aspiring to the highest place, it is honorable to reach the second or even the third rank.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

It is not a lucky word, this name impossible; no good comes of those who have it so often in their mouths.

Thomas Carlyle

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. Where be your jibes now, your gambols, your songs, your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?

William Shakespeare

A mathematician believes that describing the speed of Mercury with equations amounts to science.
