Never discourage anyone... who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.: Plato (427 BC - 347 BC)
Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited.: Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712 - 1778)
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.: Jack London (1876 - 1916), Jack London's Tales of Adventure

Science is the search for truth - it is not a game in which one tries to beat his opponent, to do harm to others. We need to have the spirit of science in international affairs, to make the conduct of international affairs the effort to find t he right solution, the just solution of international problems, not the effort by each nation to get the better of other nations, to do harm to them when it is possible.: Linus Pauling (1901 - 1994), No More War!
It may well be doubted whether human ingenuity can construct an enigma... which human ingenuity may not, by proper application, resolve.: Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849), The Gold Bug
We shall never understand the natural environment until we see it as a living organism. Land can be healthy or sick, fertile or barren, rich or poor, lovingly nurtured or bled white. Our present attitudes and laws governing the ownership and use of land represent an abuse of the concept of private property.... Today you can murder land for private profit. You can leave the corpse for all to see and nobody calls the cops.: Paul Brooks, The Pursuit of Wilderness (1971)

Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort. Nothing ever happens twice alike. The most familiar people stand each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to surrounding objects. The most tranquil house, with the most serene inhabitants, living upon the utmost regularity of system, is yet exemplifying infinite diversities.: Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few; and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.: George Washington (1732 - 1799)
