Nikola Tesla, New York Times, October 19, 1931


If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search... I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.

Clement of Rome


How blessed and amazing are God's gifts, dear friends Life with immortality, splendor with righteousness, truth with confidence, faith with assurance, self-control with holiness And all these things are within our comprehension.

Dr. Robert Schuller

Dicky Barrett


If it was an overnight success, it was one long, hard, sleepless night.

Woody Allen


Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

Helen Hayes


My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.

Rabbi Harold Kushner

Heraclitus, from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers


Nothing endures but change.

Eva Young


To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.

William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar


There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

Joseph Sobran


The attempt to silence a man is the greatest honor you can bestow on him. It means that you recognize his superiority to yourself.

Joyce Carol Oates


If you explore beneath shyness or party chit-chat, you can sometimes turn a dull exchange into an intriguing one. I've found this to be particularly true in the case of professors or intellectuals, who are full of fascinating information, but need encouragement before they'll divulge it.
