Straight to the Famous Quotations ...

Norman Cousins


A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas-a place where history comes to life.

Jules Verne


Whatever one man is capable of conceiving, other men will be able to achieve.

Epictetus


Control thy passions, lest they take vengeance on thee.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


Science does not know its debt to imagination. Goethe did not believe that a great naturalist could exist without this faculty.

Eubie


Be grateful for luck. Pay the thunder no mind - listen to the birds. And don't hate nobody.

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, chapter 6


When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy.

Sir Arthur Eddington, The Philosophy of Physical Science


For the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme Court of Appeal. It does not follow that every item which we confidently accept as physical knowledge has actually been certified by the Court; our confidence is that it would be certified by the Court if it were submitted. But it does follow that every item of physical knowledge is of a form which might be submitted to the Court. It must be such that we can specify (although it may be impracticable to carry out) an observational procedure which would decide whether it is true or not. Clearly a statement cannot be tested by observation unless it is an assertion about the results of observation. Every item of physical knowledge must therefore be an assertion of what has been or would be the result of carrying out a specified observational procedure.

Thomas Jefferson


Democracy is 51% of the people taking away the rights of the other 49%.
