| Quote:Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul.[Bruce Lee] Quote:Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when He catches us, as it were, off our guard.[C.S. Lewis] 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:To be thrown upon one's own resources, is to be cast into the very lap of fortune; for our faculties then undergo a development and display an energy of which they were previously unsusceptible.[Benjamin Franklin] 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:Classical music gradually lost popularity because it is too complicated: you need twenty-five or thirty skilled musicians just to hum it properly.

In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[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:The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.[Aristotle] Quote:If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.[Colin Powell] Quote:Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.[Bill Cosby] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.[Baltasar Gracian] 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:There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:The devil made me do it the first time, and after that I did it on my own.[Robert Fulghum] Quote:Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.[Mahatma Gandhi] 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:The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring this endeavor will light our bounty and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:Children need encouragement. So if a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way, he develops a good, lucky feeling.[Jack Handey] Quote:Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment. [Baltasar Gracian] Quote:Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood.

I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood. [John Burroughs] Quote:Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them. [Bill Vaughan] Quote:Our envy of others devours us most of all. [Alexander Solzhenitsyn] Quote:We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown. We have devised profound theories, one after another, to account for its origins.

[Sir Arthur Eddington] Quote:Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right. [H. L. Mencken] Quote:Doubt 'til thou canst doubt no more...doubt is thought and thought is life. Systems which end doubt are devices for drugging thought. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long. [Socrates] Quote:In an underdeveloped country don't drink the water. In a developed country don't breathe the air.
