Results from Classic Quotes:

There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.: George Matthew Adams
A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.: Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996), "Contact"
Senescent judges show how patriotic they are by passing out hard sentences for tearing up a draft card or following one's conscience according to the principles established by our country at the Nuremburg trials.: Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893 - 1986), The Crazy Ape
Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.: Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996)
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time someting like that happened in politics or religion.: Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996), 1987 CSICOP Keynote Address
I think it's about time we voted for senators with breasts. After all, we've been voting for boobs long enough.: Claire Sargent, on women candidates, The World Almanac and Book of Facts, 1993
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.: John Adams (1735 - 1826)
It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.: J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind of self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.: Unknown, (attributed incorrectly to James Madison)
Man is to himself the most wonderful object in nature; for he cannot conceive what the body is, still less what the mind is, and least of all how a body should be united to a mind. This is the consummation of his difficulties, and yet it is his very being.: Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662), Pensees(II,72)
