If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

LaoTzu

Afghanistan is going to be here a long time, and what's critical is that Afghanistan's relationship with its neighbors are, to the maximum extent they can be, constructive and operationally useful.

John R. Allen

Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars. Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold, And the great price we paid for it full worth: We have it only when we are half earth. Little avails that coinage to the old!

George Meredith

Edward Kennedy

How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun.

Christian Bale

To succeed in science, you have to avoid dumb people (here I was still following Luria's example). Now that might sound inexcusably flip, but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself.

James D. Watson

Denis Diderot

Philosophy is not politics, and we do our best, within our all-too-human limitations, to seek the truth, not to score points against opponents. There is little satisfaction in gaining an easy triumph over a weak opponent while ignoring better arguments against your views.

Peter Singer

Between death and hell a bridge shining silver wings offers his soul hope.

Aberjhani

Byron says that it is easier to die for the woman one loves that to live with her.

Andre Maurois

I am the family face flesh perishes, I live on.

Thomas Hardy
