[Patricia Greenfield] concluded that every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others. Our growing use of the Net and other screen-based technologies has led to the widespread and sophisticated development of visual-spatial skills. We can, for example, rotate objects in our minds better than we used to be able to. But our new strengths in visual-spatial intelligence go hand in hand with a weakening of our capacities for the kind of deep processing that underpins mindful knowledge acquisition, inductive analysis, critical thinking, imagination, and reflection.

Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but usually manages to pick himself up, walk over or around it, and carry on.

Benjamin Franklin

President Bush spent last night calling world leaders to support the war with Iraq and it is sad when the most powerful man on earth is yelling, 'I know you're there, pick up, pick up.

Craig Kilborn

See, my hope and dream is that people have a good time watching basketball. It's not church. It's not serious.

Charles Barkley

The Great Man... is colder, harder, less hesitating, and without fear of 'opinion'; he lacks the virtues that accompany respect and 'respectability,' and altogether everything that is the 'virtue of the herd.' If he cannot lead, he goes alone... He knows he is incommunicable: he finds it tasteless to be familiar... When not speaking to himself, he wears a mask. There is a solitude within him that is inaccessible to praise or blame.

Friedrich Nietzsche

If you are going to be a doubter, I don't need your negative energy.

Stephen Richards

Marriage is one of the most sacred human institutions. I asked our Senators, as many South Dakotans have done, to protect marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Mike Rounds

Certainly, my father would not want to see me destroy myself in this business, as so many people in our family have been destroyed. I try to take good care of myself, but we are fighting the good fight, and the truth is powerful.

Sam Sheppard

An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.

Edwin Hubbell Chapin

The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.

Karl Marx

The more abstract the truth you want to teach, the more thoroughly you must seduce the senses to accept it.

Friedrich Nietzsche

It just took all of that to come to a screeching halt, to get to the point of having nothing, for me to finally realize, Hey, what are you fighting with this for? Until then, I hadn't claimed my faith as my own I had just grown up with it.

Scott Stapp

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan The proper study of mankind is man.

Alexander Pope
