A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

I'm a good music provider, and I'm fine with that. I'm a quality music manufacturer.

John Mayer

I will work to bring peace to everyone - whatever economic level - as long as you are Haitian.

Jean-Bertrand Aristide

The Three in One, the One in Three? Not so! To my own Gods I go. It may be they shall give me greater ease than your cold Christ and tangled Trinities.

Rudyard Kipling

Real equality is immensely difficult to achieve, it needs continual revision and monitoring of distributions. And it does not provide buffers between members, so they are continually colliding or frustrating each other.

Mary Douglas

Be a good animal, true to your animal instincts.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do not want society.

Henry David Thoreau

God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.

John Calvin

Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.

Charles H. Parkhurst

I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.

Anthony Hopkins

There is a progression of understanding vis-?-vis pro football that varies drastically with the factor of distance -- physical, emotional, intellectual and every other way. Which is exactly the way it should be, in the eyes of the amazingly small number of people who own and control the game, because it is this finely managed distance factor that accounts for the high-profit mystique that blew the sacred institution of baseball off its national pastime pedestal in less than fifteen years.

Hunter S. Thompson

If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.

Satchel Paige

To face death, that's nothing much. But to feel really stupid when you die, well, that would be insufferable.

Orson Scott Card
