| Quote:Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.[Aristotle Onassis] Quote:Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.[Edmond and Jules de Goncourt] Quote:If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Don't join the book burners. Do not think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:How else can you fight God but to pretend He doesn't exist?[Chris Bowyer] Quote:An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.[Siddhartha Buddha] Quote:Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist.[Edmund Burke] Quote:My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?[Stephen Hawking] Quote:No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness.[Aristotle] Quote:No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.[Aristotle] Quote:Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.[Saint Augustine] Quote:To us, the moment 8:17 A.M. means something - something very important, if it happens to be the starting time of our daily train. To our ancestors, such an odd eccentric instant was without significance - did not even exist. In inventing the locomotive, Watt and Stevenson were part inventors of time.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:I have an existential map; it has 'you are here' written all over it.[Steven Wright] Quote:God is more truly imagined than expressed, and He exists more truly than He is imagined.[Saint Augustine] Quote:True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to an evil power...it is rather a courageous confrontation with evil by the power of love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence and bitterness in the universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, and thereby bring about a transformation and change of heart.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.[Albert Einstein] Quote:To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty...this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt.[Paul Tillich] Quote:How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot.[Albert Einstein] Quote:The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.Workers of all countries...unite![Frederick Engels] 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:"Every man has his price." This is not true. But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. To win over certain people to something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity, nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice - and there is nothing you cannot get them to swallow. To their souls, these are the icing, the tidbit; other kinds of souls have others.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. [Bill Watterson] Quote:Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. [Aldous Huxley] Quote:The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction. [Jawaharlal Nehru] Quote:Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence. [Georg Christoph Lichtenberg] Quote:Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society... [Herbert Hoover] Quote:Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure. [Helen Keller] Quote:Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. [Helen Keller] Quote:Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:And so faith is closing your eyes and following the breath of your soul down to the bottom of life, where existence and nonexistence have merged into irrelevance. All that matters is the little part you play in the vast drama. [Real Live Preacher] Quote:We think having faith means being convinced God exists in the same way we are convinced a chair exists. People who cannot be completely convinced of God?s existence think faith is impossible for them. Not so. People who doubt can have great faith because faith is something you do, not something you think. In fact, the greater your doubt the more heroic your faith. [Real Live Preacher] Quote:Rembrandt painted 700 pictures. Of these, 3,000 are still in existence. [Wilhelm Bode] Quote:Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
