We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge, and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference, unmixed with considerations of a different order.

The constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people.

William O. Douglas

Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.

Winston Churchill

In a society of little economic development, universal inactivity accompanies universal poverty. You survive not by struggling against nature, or by increasing production, or by relentless labor; instead you survive by expending as little energy as possible, by striving constantly to achieve a state of immobility.

Ryszard Kapuscinski

One of the greatest journeys in life is overcoming insecurity and learning to truly not give a shit.

J.A. Konrath

If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata--of creatures that worked like machines--would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free.

C.S. Lewis

Behold, my friends, the spring is come the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!

Sitting Bull

Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.

Gracie Allen

Todo pasa y todo queda, / Pero lo nuestro es pasar, / Pasar haciendo caminos,/ Caminos sobre el mar.

Antonio Machado

My big philosophy is: Try and work with good people, because the process is your life. That's going to be really, really hard. I'm glad I learned the lesson, 'Failure is OK.'

Dana Fox

I tried a dozen different modifications that were rejected. But they all served as a path to the final design.

Mikhail Kalashnikov

He who has love in his breast has ever the spurs at his flanks.

Bernardo Dovizi

There is nothing better or more necessary than love.

John of the Cross
