| Quote:Every poem can be considered in two ways--as what the poet has to say, and as a thing which he makes.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base.[Dave Barry] Quote:We should enact an 'e' tax. Government agents would roam the country looking for stores whose names contained any word that ended in an unnecessary 'e,' such as 'shoppe' or 'olde,' and the owners of these stores would be taxed at a flat rate of $50,000 per year per 'e.' We should also consider an additional $50,000 'ye' tax, so that the owner of a store called 'Ye Olde Shoppe' would have to fork over $150,000 a year. In extreme cases, such as 'Ye Olde Barne Shoppe,' the owner would simply be taken outside and shot.[Dave Barry] Quote:A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.[Aristotle] Quote:For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.[George Washington] Quote:An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered.[GK Chesterton] Quote:I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means.[Clarence Darrow] Quote:Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.[Kahlil Gibran] Quote:If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that considered a hostage situation?[Steven Wright] Quote:Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.[Kahlil Gibran] 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:Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:First weigh the considerations, then take the risks. [Herodotus] Quote:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare] Quote:Liberals are very broadminded: they are always willing to give careful consideration to both sides of the same side. [Anonymous] 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:If men would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling.

And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.
