For the duel is deadly; and any agnostic who wishes to be anything more than a Nihilist must sympathize with one version of nature or the other.[GK Chesterton] Quote:We all wish to be judged by our peers, by the men 'after our own heart.' Only they really know our mind and only they judge it by standards we fully acknowledge. Theirs is the praise we really covet and the blame we really dread. The little pockets of early Chrstians survived because they cared exclusively for the love of 'the bretheren' and stopped their ears to the opinion of the Pagan society around them. But a circle of criminals, cranks, or perverts survives in just the same way; by becoming deaf to the opinion of the outer world, by discounting it as the chatter of outsiders who 'don't understand,' of the 'conventional,' the 'bourgeois,' the 'Establishment,' of prigs, prudes, and humbugs.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Until you do what you believe in, how do you know whether you believe in it or not?[Leo Tolstoy] Quote:Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.[George Eliot] Quote:When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.[Mark Twain] Quote:There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.

They teach a writer to rely on his own judgment and to say in his heart of hearts, 'To hell with you.'[Saul Bellow] Quote:In any fairly large and talkative community such as a university there is always the danger that those who think alike should gravitate together where they will henceforth encounter opposition only in the emasculated form of rumour that the outsiders say thus and thus. The absent are easily refuted, complacent dogmatism thrives, and differences of opinion are embittered by the group hostility. Each group hears not the best, but the worst, that the other group can say.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.[Henry Ford] Quote:The definition of success--To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Why, you can take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together - what do you get? The sum of their fears.[Winston Churchill] Quote:A conference is a gathering of important people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done.[Fred Allen] Quote:Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.[Amy Bloom] Quote:Of course I don't believe in it. But I understand that it brings you luck whether you believe in it or not.[Niels Bohr] Quote:The thing we all have to understand to put these last two years in focus, is that liberals in this country care more about whether European leaders like us than they do about whether terrorists are killing us.[Rush Limbaugh] Quote:What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:At the bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique human being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Dignity and love do not blend well, nor do they continue long together.

Stevenson Jr.] Quote:The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep. [Ann Landers] Quote:My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose. [Bette Davis] Quote:Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not. [Oprah Winfrey] Quote:Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.

[Aristotle] Quote:Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.

[George Burns] Definitions of: etherDefinition: A medium of great elasticity and extreme tenuity, once supposed to pervade all space, the interior of solid bodies not excepted, and to be the medium of transmission of light and heat; hence often called luminiferous ether. It is no longer believed that such a medium is required for the transmission of electromagnetic waves; the modern use of the term is mostly a figurative term for empty space, or for literary effect, and not intended to imply the actual existence of a physical medium. However. modern cosmological theories based on quantum field theory do not rule out the possibility that the inherent energy of the vacuum is greater than zero, in which case the concept of an ether pervading the vacuum may have more than metaphoric meaning.Definition: Supposed matter above the air; the air itself. Definition: A light, volatile, mobile, inflammable liquid, (C2H5)2O, of a characteristic aromatic odor, obtained by the distillation of alcohol with sulphuric acid, and hence called also sulphuric ether. It is a powerful solvent of fats, resins, and pyroxylin, but finds its chief use as an anæsthetic. Commonly called ethyl ether to distinguish it from other ethers, and also ethyl oxide. Definition: Any similar compound in which an oxygen atom is bound to two different carbon atoms, each of which is part of an organic radical; as, amyl ether; valeric ether; methyl ethyl ether. The general formular for an ether is ROR′, in which R and R′ are organic radicals which may be of similar or different structure. If R and R′ are different parts of the same organic radical, the structure forms a cyclic ether. |
