| Quote:The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.[Albert Einstein] Quote:When a man is getting worse, he understands his own badness less and less.

I think it was called, 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.'[Homer Simpson] Quote:Haven't you learned anything from that guy that gives those sermons in church? Captain What's-his-name. We live in a society of laws, why do you think I took you to see all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn't hear anybody laughing! Did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects. Vroom! Beep! Honk! Honk! Ha-ha. Where was I? Oh yeah, stay out of my booze![Homer Simpson] Quote:Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration - courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth.[Henry Mencken] Quote:Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked.[Saint Augustine] Quote:I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murders. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Whenever a man's friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sure that they think he is growing old.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.[C.S.

Lewis] Quote:I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens.[Dwight Eisenhower] 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:Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man's intelligence and his comprehension... would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:I think vital religion has always suffered when orthodoxy is more regarded than virtue. The scriptures assure me that at the last day we shall not be examined on what we thought but what we did.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:It's a phonetic language. Anything can make sense. How do you think Dr. Seuss wrote any of that sh*t?[Matthew J. Clayfield] Quote:I do not think that the real reason why people accept religion is anything to do with argumentation. They accept religion on emotional grounds. One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Don't you wish you had a job like mine? All you have to do is think up a certain number of words! Plus, you can repeat words! And they don't even have to be true![Dave Barry] Quote:Males have a lot of trouble not looking at breasts. What is worse, males cannot look at breasts and think at the same time. In fact, scientists now believe that the primary biological function of breasts is to make males stupid. This was proved in a famous 1978 laboratory experiment wherein a team of leading male psychological researchers at Yale deliberately looked at photographs of breasts every day for two years, at the end of which they concluded that they had failed to take any notes.[Dave Barry] Quote:Puns are little plays on words that a certain breed of person loves to spring on you and then look at you in a certain self-satisfied way to indicate that he thinks that you must think that he is by far the cleverest person on Earth now that Benjamin Franklin is dead.[Dave Barry] Quote:An orator is a man who says what he thinks and feels what he says.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:Too many poets delude themselves by thinking that the mind is dangerous and must be left out.

Along the way professional football came into being so that the largest and most violent college players would have a way to earn money other than simply demanding it from innocent civilians.[Dave Barry] Quote:I have not felt remotely cool for a long time, thanks largely to the relentless efforts of my teenage son, whose goal in life is to make me feel 3,500 years old. We'll be in the car, and he'll say, 'You wanna hear my new CD?' And I, flattered that he thinks his old man might like the same music he does, will say 'Sure!' So he increases the sound-system volume setting from '4' to 'Meteor Impact,' and he puts in a CD by a band with a name like 'Pustule,' and the next thing I know gigantic nuclear bass notes have blown out all the car windows and activated both the driver- and passenger-side air bags, and I'm writhing on the floor, screaming for mercy with jets of blood spurting three feet from my ears. My son then ejects the CD, smiling contentedly, knowing he as purchased a winner. On those extremely rare occasions when I like one of his CDs, I imagine he destroys it with a blowtorch.[Dave Barry] Quote:It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.[Aristotle] Quote:A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to.[Laurence Peter] Quote:I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.[Lauren Bacall] Quote:We become what we think about all day long. The question is, 'What do you think about?'[Wayne Dyer] Quote:It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Many interviewers when they come to talk to me, think they're being progressive by not mentioning in their stories any longer that I'm black. I tell them, 'Don't stop now. If I shot somebody you'd mention it.'[Colin Powell] Quote:When we are debating an issue, loyalty means giving me your honest opinion, whether you think I'll like it or not. Disagreement, at this stage, stimulates me. But once a decision has been made, the debate ends. From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own.[Colin Powell] Quote:If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.[Mark Twain] Quote:Sundance is weird. The movies are weird. You actually have to think about them when you watch them.[Britney Spears] Quote:If you think there are no new frontiers, watch a boy ring the front doorbell on his first date.[Olin Miller] Quote:A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.[Thomas Paine] Quote:There are two distinct classes of what are called thoughts: those that we produce in ourselves by reflection and the act of thinking and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord.[Thomas Paine] Quote:When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.[Thomas Paine] Quote:I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.[George Carlin] Quote:Of course the meek will inherit the earth, what, did you think they'd take it by force?[Author Unknown] Quote:There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the labor of thinking.[Thomas Edison] Quote:The best thinking has been done in solitude.

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:I think a poet is anybody who wouldn't call himself a poet.[Bob Dylan] Quote:Many people would sooner die than think. In fact they do.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.[Albert Einstein] Quote:How lucky for those in power that people don't think.[Adolf Hitler] Quote:It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.[Andrew Jackson] Quote:I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is.[Madonna Ciccone] Quote:A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, <b[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:A little simplification would be the first step toward rational living, I think.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'[GK Chesterton] Quote:You must not think me necessarily foolish because I am facetious, nor will I consider you necessarily wise because you are grave.[Sydney Smith] Quote:Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.[Niels Bohr] 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:I think and think for months and years, ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.[Albert Einstein] Quote:If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking...the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind.[Ayn Rand] Quote:God gave us two ends. One to sit on and one to think with. Success depends on which one you use; head you win, tail, you lose.[Author Unknown] Quote:I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.[George Burns] Quote:It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.

Last week I put a mirror over my dining room table.[Rodney Dangerfield] Quote:A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.[William James] Quote:Genius thinks it can do whatever it sees others doing, but is sure to repent of every ill-judged outlay.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:In my heart, I think a woman has two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.[Gloria Steinem] Quote:But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.[Albert Einstein] Quote:We need not think alike to love alike.[Francis David] Quote:Every time you meet a situation, though you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.[William Shakespeare] Quote:When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over.[George MacDonald] Quote:I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do. That is character![Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage.[Ronald Reagan] Quote:I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.[Jack Handey] Quote:I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in my brain, because later you might think you're having a good idea but it's just eggs hatching.[Jack Handey] Quote:I think that a hat which has a little cannon that fires and then goes back inside the hat is at least a decade away.[Jack Handey] Quote:To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.[Jack Handey] Quote:Whenever someone asks me to define love, I usually think for a minute, then I spin around and pin the guy's arm behind his back. NOW who's asking the questions?[Jack Handey] Quote:I think a good gift for the president would be a chocolate revolver. And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him and hand it to him.[Jack Handey] Quote:If you think a weakness can be turned into a strength, I hate to tell you this, but that's another weakness.[Jack Handey] Quote:Unless the religious claims of the Bible are again acknowledged, its literary claims will, I think, be given only 'mouth honour' and that decreasingly.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Everything has been thought of before, but the difficulty is to think of it again.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:If you want to conquer fear, don't sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.[Andrew Carnegie] Quote:I think the idea of art kills creativity.[Douglas Adams] Quote:I think it's insulting to people who have a heritage of slavery to compare the homosexual experience in America to that. It's an unfortunate, cheap attempt to piggyback on something and to co-opt life experiences of others, claim that you've experienced them yourselves so that you can advance a cause.[Rush Limbaugh] Quote:Every day, man is making bigger and better fool-proof things, and every day, nature is making bigger and better fools. So far, I think nature is winning.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.[Rita Rudner] Quote:This world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel.[Horace Walpole] Quote:I am a thing that thinks, that is to say, a thing that doubts, affrims, denies, understands a few things, is ignorant of many things, wills, refrains from willing, and also imagines and senses.[Rene Descartes] Quote:I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.[Henry Ford] Quote:Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.[Walter Lippman] Quote:You must do the thing you think you cannot do.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. [Dwight D. Eisenhower] Quote:I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down. I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught. [Georgia O'Keeffe] Quote:If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:You think Nature is some Disney movie? Nature is a killer. Nature is a bitch. It's feeding time out there 24 hours a day, every step that you take is a gamble with death. If it isn't getting hit with lightning today, it's an earthquake tomorrow or some deer tick carrying Lime disease. Either way, you're ending up on the wrong end of the food chain. [Jeff Melvoin] 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:Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think. [Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:Jealousy is all the fun you think they had. [Erica Jong] Quote:The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason. [John Cage] Quote:When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable. [Madeleine L'Engle] Quote:Einstein said God doesn't play dice with the universe, but I don't know--maybe not as a whole, but I think he gets a pretty big kick out of messing in peoples' back yards. [Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde] Quote:Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again. [Evelyn Underhill] Quote:I think people that have a brother or sister don't realize how lucky they are. Sure, they fight a lot, but to know that ther's always somebody there, somebody that's family. [Trey Parker and Matt Stone] Quote:I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble. [Agatha Christie] Quote:I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble. [Agatha Christie] Quote:Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think. [Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs. [Dale Carnegie] Quote:The nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people, they think it's their fault. [Henry Kissinger] Quote:Hey, what do you think drives all this grey matter up here? Electricity. It's brain waves surfing on synaptic junctions. If your radio can go out because of sun spots, why can't your cerebellum? It's all a matter of reception and it seems to me these signals are going to get crossed somehow. It's all logical. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Marriage is the union of disparate elements. Male and female. Yin and yang. Proton and electron. What are we talking about here? Nothing less than the very tension that binds the universe. You see, when we look at marriage, people, we're are looking at creation itself. "I am the sky," says the Hindu bridegroom to the bride. "You are the earth. We are sky and earth united.... You are my husband. You are my wife. My feet shall run because of you. My feet shall dance because of you. My heart shall beat because of you. My eyes see because of you. My mind thinks because of you and I shall love because of you." [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:You've been listening to the adagio from Beethoven's 7th Symphony. I think Ludwig pretty much summed up death in this one. You know, he had lost just about all his hearing when he wrote it, and I've often wondered if that didn't help him tune into the final silence of the great beyond. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:It's just human. We all have the jungle inside of us. We all have wants and needs and desires, strange as they may seem. If you stop to think about it, we're all pretty creative, cooking up all these fantasies. it's like a kind of poetry. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Weird, isn't it? Somehow in the dead of winter when its 40 below, so cold your words just freeze in the air, you think you'll never hear a robin's song again or see a blossom on a cherry tree, when one day you wake up and bingo, light coming through the mini blinds is softened with a tick of rose and the cold morning air has lost its bite. It's spring once again, the streets are paved with mud and the hills are alive with the sound of mosquitos. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse. [Emily Dickinson] Quote:You think a man is a man cause he wears team colors and guzzles beer in front of the tube? Can't you see, boys, the sands of time are dribbling through the hourglass? [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:Time is just something that we assign. You know, past, present, it's just all arbitrary. Most Native Americans, they don't think of time as linear; in time, out of time, I never have enough time, circular time, the Stevens wheel. All moments are happening all the time. [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:We rarely think people have good sense unless they agree with us. [Francois de La Rochefoucauld] Quote:I think that I shall never see<br>A poem lovely as a tree. [Moliere] Quote:We can have facts without thinking but we cannot have thinking without facts. [John Dewey] Quote:When the political columnists say 'Every thinking man' they mean themselves, and when candidates appeal to 'Every intelligent voter' they mean everybody who is going to vote for them. [Franklin P. Adams] Quote:Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death. [Lord Acton] Quote:I sometimes think that the saving grace of America lies in the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans are possessed of two great qualities- a sense of humor and a sense of proportion. [Franklin D. Roosevelt] Quote:It's funny, to me, the way people refer to childbirth as a miraculous event. A miracle is something that defies nature. Only, childbirth has got to be the most natural thing in the world. Top three anyway. But, on the other hand, when you think about it, there's really no other word that fits. Sperm. Egg. A coincidental meshing of genetic information that will grow something that could write an opera or cook up some Napalm. It blows my mind. [Barbara Hall] Quote:If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to. [Dorothy Parker] Quote:What luck for rulers that men do not think. [Adolf Hitler] Quote:I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:I don't think of the past. The only thing that matters is the everlasting present. [W. Somerset Maugham] Quote:Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear. [Alan Corenk] Quote:What is the first business of one who practices philosophy? To get rid of self-conceit. For it is impossible for anyone to begin to learn that which he thinks he already knows. [Epictetus] Quote:Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Sometimes the laughter in mothering is the recognition of the ironies and absurdities. Sometime, though, it's just pure, unthinking delight. [Bern Williams] Quote:You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. [Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past. Thus, far better to conceive of power as consisting in part of the knowledge of when not to use all the power you have. Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am. [Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple. [Bob Dylan] Quote:I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom. [Bob Dylan] Quote:While we stop to think, we often miss our opportunity. [Publilius Syrus] Quote:A man thinks that by mouthing hard words he understands hard things. [Herman Melville] Quote:I think that I shall never see <br> a billboard lovely as a tree. <br> Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, <br> I'll never see a tree at all. [Ogden Nash] Quote:The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think. [Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey] Quote:Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. [Robert Frost] Quote:The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next. [Matthew Arnold] Quote:A good listener is usually thinking about something else. [Kin Hubbard] Quote:"My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying, "My mother, drunk or sober." [G. K. Chesterton] Quote:ONE WHO WAITS: There are those who believe that time is a wheel turning forever. Which would mean that your moment will surely come. Then, there are those who believe that time is a river. Which, if that's true, it's possible that your moment has already flowed by.<br> ED: Which one do you think it is?<br> ONE WHO WAITS: Ah. I think that time is just time. [Geoffrey Neighor] 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:I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Not to be absolutely certain is, I think, one of the essential things in rationality. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:When one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also admit that some things are much more nearly certain than others. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman.
