Results from Classic Quotes:

Human consciousness arose but a minute before midnight on the geological clock. Yet we mayflies try to bend an ancient world to our purposes, ignorant perhaps of the messages buried in its long history. Let us hope that we are still in the early morning of our April day.: Stephen Jay Gould (1941 - 2002)
No wonder Americans hate politics when, year in and year out, they hear politicians make promises that won't come true because they don't even mean them - campaign fantasies that win elections but don't get nations moving again.: Bill Clinton (1946 - ), Detroit Economic Club, August 21, 1992
- More quotations on: [Promises]
[George Bush] has raised taxes on the people driving pickup trucks and lowered taxes on the people riding in limousines. We can do better.: Bill Clinton (1946 - ), Democratic National Convention, July 16, 1992
The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music.: Donald E. Knuth (1938 - )
If you look up 'Intelligence' in the new volumes of the Encyclopeadia Britannica, you'll find it classified under the following three heads: Intelligence, Human; Intelligence, Animal; Intelligence, Military. My stepfather's a perfect specimen of Intelligence, Military.: Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
Let us overthrow the totems, break the taboos. Or better, let us consider them cancelled. Coldly, let us be intelligent.: Pierre Trudeau (1919 - 2000)
To the biologist the problem of socialism appears largely as a problem of size. The extreme socialists desire to run every nation as a single business concern. I do not suppose that Henry Ford would find much difficulty in running Andorra or Luxembourg on a socialistic basis. He has already more men on his pay-roll than their population. It is conceivable that a syndicate of Fords, if we could find them, would make Belgium Ltd. or Denmark Inc. pay their way. But while nationalization of certain industries is an obvious possibility in the largest of states, I find it no easier to picture a completely socialized British Empire or United States than an elephant turning somersaults or a hippopotamus jumping a hedge.: J. B. S. Haldane (1892 - 1964), "On Being the Right Size" in the (1928) book "Possible Worlds"
The fathers of the field had been pretty confusing: John von Neumann speculated about computers and the human brain in analogies sufficiently wild to be worthy of a medieval thinker, and Alan Turing thought about criteria to settle the question of whether machines can think, a question of which we now know that it is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim.: E. W. Dijkstra, at the ACN South Central Regional Conference, Austin, Texas, 16 to 18 November 1984
Sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), Sonnet XCIV
Everything that can be invented has been invented.: Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. patent office, 1899 (attributed)
