Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.

Jane Austen

The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.

There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.

Celine Dion

The Google algorithm was a significant development. I've had thank-you emails from people whose lives have been saved by information on a medical website or who have found the love of their life on a dating website.

Tim Berners-Lee

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

Thomas Carlyle

History engineered if the facts couldn't be generally accepted.

Toba Beta

Weak souls always set to work at the wrong time.
