Isaac Asimov


Science can be introduced to children well or poorly. If poorly, children can be turned away from science; they can develop a lifelong antipathy; they will be in a far worse condition than if they had never been introduced to science at all.

Rabbi Abraham Heschel


Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.

Thomas Fuller


An ounce of cheerfulness is worth a pound of sadness to serve God with.

R. J. Baughan


We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are...Men do not really live for honors or for pay their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.

Walt Whitman, "Leaves of Grass"


Has anyone supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her that it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.

Henry Louis Mencken


It is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.

Norman Cousins


Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

Frank Tyger


Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble.

Sidney Madwed


Without relationships, no matter how much wealth, fame, power, prestige and seeming success by the standards and opinions of the world one has, happiness will constantly eluded him.

Mark Coggins, "The Immortal Game" (novel)


Einstein said that God does not play dice with the universe. He was right, but not in the way he meant. God doesn�t play dice with the universe because the universe doesn�t need him. The craps table is set up and running. Whether or not God put it there is besides the point.

Lord Acton

Louisa May Alcott


Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

George Orwell


For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavouring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.

Richard Olney, a lawyer for the Boston & Maine and Attorney General under Grover Cleveland, advising a railroad president


The [Interstate Commerce] commission, as its functions have now been limited by the courts is, or can be made, of great use to the railroads. It satisfies the public clamor for a government supervision of railroads, at the same time that that supervision is almost entirely nominal.

Hesiod


If thou shouldst lay up even a little upon a little, and shouldst do this often, soon would even this become great.

William Carlos Williams


The better work men do is always done under stress and at great personal cost.

John Updike


Perfectionism is the enemy of creation, as extreme self-solicitude is the enemy of well-being.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


Speaking generally, punishment hardens and numbs, it produces obstinacy, it sharpens the sense of alienation and strengthens the power of resistance.

Joseph Addison, The Spectator, September 26, 1712


Man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter.

Joe E. Louis


I don't like money, actually, but it quiets my nerves.

W. Somerset Maugham


Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Anna Jameson


What we truly and earnestly aspire to be, that in some sense, we are. The mere aspiration, by changing the frame of the mind, for the moment realizes itself.

Mark McGee


We were lost and dead in sin. We were by nature objects of God's wrath. But God Loved us That Love caused Him to do something about our situation. God is rich in mercy, so He made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions. God acted on His Love for us and saved us by His Grace Grace is the result of the actions of His Love. The remarkable thing about His Grace is that He didn't ask us to do anything but believe Him. God didn't ask us to perform some great deed. He didn't demand obedience from us before He would save us. God made us alive with Christ 'even when we were dead in transgressions and sins.' God is showing the universe 'the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.' (Ephesians 27) God was Kind to us 'in' Christ because He Loved us.

Clarence Jordan


It is not enough to limit your love to your own nation, to your own group. You must respond with love even to those outside of it. . . . This concept enables people to live together not as nations, but as the human race.

George Orwell


Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
