Science and vision are not opposites or even at odds. They need each other. I sometimes hear other startup folks say something along the lines of: 'If entrepreneurship was a science, then anyone could do it.' I'd like to point out that even science is a science, and still very few people can do it, let alone do it well.

Our democracy, our constitutional framework is really a kind of software for harnessing the creativity and political imagination for all of our people. The American democratic system was an early political version of Napster.

Al Gore

Without economic development, any potential for political openness and freedom will be questionable.

Jose Maria Aznar

A man must not swallow more beliefs than he can digest.

Havelock Ellis

The men of the future will yet fight their way to many a liberty that we do not even miss.

Max Stirner

Thus we find that people who fail in everyday affairs show a tendency to reach out for the impossible. They become responsive to grandiose schemes, and will display unequaled steadfastness, formidable energies and a special fitness in the performance of tasks which would stump superior people. It seems paradoxical that defeat in dealing with the possible should embolden people to attempt the impossible, but a familiarity with the mentality of the weak reveals that what seems a path of daring is actually an easy way out: It is to escape the responsibility for failure that the weak so eagerly throw themselves into grandiose undertakings. For when we fail in attaining the impossible we are justified in attributing it to the magnitude of the task.

Eric Hoffer

Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them

Oscar Wilde

Attempt the end and never stand to doubt;Nothing's so hard, but search will find it out.

Robert Herrick

When they say the sky's the limit to me that's really true

Michael Jackson

I've been involved with sports my whole life, which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn't care.

Jessica Biel

Nobody can be as agreeable as an uninvited guest.

Kin Hubbard

If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire 'best director' category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.

Diablo Cody

The greatest obstacle to being heroic is the doubt whether one may not be going to prove one's self a fool; the truest heroism is to resist the doubt; and the profoundest wisdom, to know when it ought to be resisted, and when it be obeyed.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
