Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss!

Man was nature's mistake she neglected to finish him and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.

Eric Hoffer

My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.

Steve Jobs

We will have bigger bureaucracies, bigger labor unions, and bigger state-run corporations. It will be harder to be an entrepreneur because of punitive taxes and regulations. The rewards of success will be expropriated for the sake of attaining greater income equality.

Patriotism is an ephemeral motive that scarcely ever outlasts the particular threat to society that aroused it.

Denis Diderot

Henry Ford

I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession, I've just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades, rather than whether someone's 42 or 47, you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.

Francesca Annis

We save paradise by an intense education program where you get people that you can trust to talk sanely about the environment and hope that the message will get through.
