Straight to the Quotes ...



Lady Mary Wortley Montagu


I prefer liberty to chains of diamonds.

Abbe Guillaume Raynal


The only difference between a genius and one of common capacity is that the former anticipates and explores what the latter accidentally hits upon; but even the man of genius himself more frequently employs the advantages that chance presents him; it is the lapidary who gives value to the diamond which the peasant has dug up without knowing its value.

Albert Einstein


Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.

Heraclitus


Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony.

William Penn


Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders, than from the arguments of its opposers.

George Sarton, History of Science


There are but few saints amongst scientists, as among other men, but truth itself is a goal comparable with sanctity.

Victor Hugo


Dream no small dreams. They have no power to stir the souls of men.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton


It was a dark and stormy night the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


The living is a species of the dead and not a very attractive one.

Lao Tzu


Pride attaches undue importance to the superiority of one's status in the eyes of others And shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others. When one sets his heart on being highly esteemed, and achieves such rating, then he is automatically involved in fear of losing his status.
