Don't ask silly questions if you don't want foolish answers.

Stephen A. Brennan


Our goal can only be reached through a vehicle of a pain, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.

Marie Curie


Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their own interests. But humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit. A well-organized society should assure to such workers the efficient means of accomplishing their task, in a life freed from material care and freely consecrated to research.

Baltasar Gracian


The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.

American Proverb


A good son makes a good husband.

Basil W. Maturin


We never get to love by hate, least of all by self-hatred.

Jimmy Carter, in his farewell address


We live in a time of transition, an uneasy era which is likely to endure for the rest of this century. During the period we may be tempted to abandon some of the time-honored principles and commitments which have been proven during the difficult times of past generations. We must never yield to this temptation. Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities - not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt
