War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means.

In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who says there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views.

Albert Einstein

Blessed is he who talks in circles, for he shall become a big wheel.

Frank Dane

The point is that I don't design stuff for myself. I'm a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use.

Robert Moog

Life is a romantic business. It is painting a picture, not doing a sumbut you have to make the romance, and it will come to the question how much fire you have in your belly.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Gay teenagers are four times as likely to attempt suicide as straight ones. I wish they knew that there's nothing wrong with them; that they are just a different shade of normal.

Jodi Picoult

As a house can be only be built satisfactorily and durably when there is a foundation, and a picture can be painted only when there is something prepared to paint it on, so carnal love is only legitimate, reasonable, and lasting when it is based on the respect and love of one human being for another.

Leo Tolstoy

The more he cast away the more he had.

John Bunyan

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Buddha

Ein Freund ist ein Mensch, der die Melodie deines Herzen kennt und sie dir vorspielt, wenn du sie vergessen hast.

Albert Einstein

Governments never learn. Only people learn.

Milton Friedman

Some would deny any legitimate use of the word God because it has been misused so much. Certainly it is the most burdened of all human words. Precisely for that reason it is the most imperishable and unavoidable. And how much weight has all erroneous talk about God's nature and works (although there never has been nor can be any such talk that is not erroneous) compared with the one truth that all men who have addressed God really meant him? For whoever pronounces the word God and really means Thou, addresses, no matter what his delusion, the true Thou of his life that cannot be restricted by any other and to whom he stands in a relationship that includes all others.

Martin Buber, I and Thou, 1923

Only those who look with the eyes of children can lose themselves in the object of their wonder.

Eberhard Arnold
