Struggling and suffering are the essence of a life worth living. If you're not pushing yourself beyond the comfort zone, if you're not demanding more from yourself - expanding and learning as you go - you're choosing a numb existence. You're denying yourself an extraordinary trip.

There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.

Jane Austen

I have heard that the Saudi Arabians are paying Greenpeace to campaign against Nuclear Power. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

James Lovelock

Grandeur and beauty are so very opposite, that you often diminish the one as you increase the other. Variety is most akin to the latter, simplicity to the former.

William Shenstone

Unfortunately things are different in climate science because the arguments have become heavily politicised. To say that the dogmas are wrong has become politically incorrect.

Freeman Dyson

The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.

Michelangelo

The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn't got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.

David Herbert Lawrence

I have a chaperone everywhere I go - my mom.

Shawn Johnson

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Mahatma Gandhi

My dad was a workaholic. I saw him work seven days a week.

Kay Bailey Hutchison

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Benjamin Franklin

Excessive reservations and paralyzing despondency have not helped the sciences to advance nor are they helping them to advance, but a healthy optimism that cheerfully searches for new ways to understand, as it is convinced that it will be possible to find them.
