Random Quotes and Quotations
 Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense-experience correspond to a logically uniform system of thought.  Most Christians expect little from God, ask little, and therefore receive little and are content with little. Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame. We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its ends. Don't be humble. You're not that great. Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character. Since the human body tends to move in the direction of its expectations-plus or minus-it is important to know that attitudes of confidence and determination are no less a part of the treatment program than medical science and technology. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. We forget that money gives its value - that someone exchanged work for it. Nature never did betray the heart that loved her. 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! Happy is the man who can do only one thing: in doing it, he fulfills his destiny. Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out. If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know. Today at the beach I could feel the men dressing me with their eyes. We cannot alter facts, but we can alter our ways of looking at them. I let the American people down, and I have to carry that burden for the rest of my life. My political life is over. I will never again have an opportunity to serve in any official position. Maybe I can give a little advice from time to time. I happened on the idea of fitting an engine to a bicycle simply because I did not want to ride crowded trains and buses. How absurd to try to make two men think alike on matters of religion, when I cannot make two timepieces agree! Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but it didn't work for the rabbit!
