Nevertheless, in order to imbue civilization with sound principles and enliven it with the spirit of the gospel, it is not enough to be illumined with the gift of faith and enkindled with the desire of forwarding a good cause. For this end it is necessary to take an active part in the various organizations and influence them from within. And since our present age is one of outstanding scientific and technical progress and excellence, one will not be able to enter these organizations and work effectively from within unless he is scientifically competent, technically capable and skilled in the practice of his own profession.

Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Stop living the life others want you to live...They have their own life anyway.

Lolalola

Life is anything that dies when you stomp on it.

Dave Barry

My girlfriend bought me a down jacket, she said it fit my personality.

Jay London

One seeks to make the loved one entirely happy, or, if that cannot be, entirely wretched.

Jean de la Bruyere

Soft focus is an important skill that can effect us metaphorically. In other words, the way we see the future has everything to do with how well we can look up and see the expanded horizon before us.

Peter Kline

Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.

Jackie Chan

We wanted Nike to be the world's best sports and fitness company. Once you say that, you have a focus. You don't end up making wing tips or sponsoring the next Rolling Stones world tour.

Philip Knight

No, no, I was only funny on stage, really. I, I, think I was funny as a person toward my classmates when I was very young. You know, when I was a child, up to about the age of 12.

Rowan Atkinson

I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.

Rodney Dangerfield

If it's not growing, it's going to die.

Michael Eisner

Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all.
