These are times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed.

And lips say God be pitiful, who never said, God be praised.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

No secular state ever existed and none would exist until the end of the French Revolution, and so we understand that America was built on the Judeo-Christian ethic and we believe that this nominee is going to see to it that those truths are upheld.

Rod Parsley

There are signs that the age of petroleum has passed its zenith. Adjusted for inflation, a barrel of crude oil now sells for three times its long-run average. The large western oil companies, which cartellised the industry for much of the 20th century, are now selling more oil than they find, and are thus in the throes of liquidation.

James Buchan

The only love worthy of a name is unconditional.

John Powell

This is how humans are: we question all our beliefs, except for the ones we really believe, and those we never think to question.

Orson Scott Card

A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

From THE SONNETS TO ORPHEUS

Rainer Maria Rilke

In time it will become clear to everyone that support for the policies of pre-emptive war and interventionist nation-building will have much greater significance than the removal of Saddam Hussein itself.

Ron Paul

Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom.

George Iles

My father was a soldier and my mother was a great mover. She once counted up how many places she had lived in during the first 25 years of her marriage and it came to 20.

Mary Wesley

Sadly, my socks are like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike.

Graham Parke

Since coming to Congress, I have been advocating for increased resources for research in the physical sciences and for the Department of Energy Office of Science in particular.
