The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

The switch from 'steam engines' to 'heat engines' signals the transition from engineering practice to theoretical science.

Hans Christian von Baeyer

I believe that God will help us to forget things, the memory of which would do us harm, or rather that He will enable us to remember only so much of them as will be for our good, and we, ourselves, not emotionally overwhelmed. The pain endured. The lesson learned. Let it now be forgotten! Face the future with courage, cheerfulness, and hope. Give God the chance and He will make you forget all that it would be harmful to remember.

W.E. (William Edwin) Sangster, W

If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free.

Paulo Coelho

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed. Out of the hard and unusual struggle through which he is compelled to pass, he gets a strength, a confidence, that one misses whose pathway is comparatively smooth by reason of birth and race.

Booker T. Washington

Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers glory -- to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.

Walter Lippmann

I've always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.

Aretha Franklin

Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

He who thinks and thinks for himself, will always have a claim to thanks; it is no matter whether it be right or wrong, so as it be explicit. If it is right, it will serve as a guide to direct; if wrong, as a beacon to warn.

Jeremy Bentham

Sometimes what we want isn't what we need.

Gena Showalter

I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence.

Vernor Vinge

In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong. God cannot be for, and against the same thing at the same time.

Abraham Lincoln

The great hope of society is in individual character.

William Ellery Channing
