Results from Cole's Quotables:

You can use all the quantitative data you can get, but you still have to distrust it and use your own intelligence and judgment.: Alvin Toffler
By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. In fact, it is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of others as it is to invent.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Winning is nice if you don't lose your integrity in the process.: Arnold Horshak
Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying No to any authority--literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political.: Ignazio Silone, The God That Failed (1950)
It is impossible to design a system so perfect that no one needs to be good.: T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965)
For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe... Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.: Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001), Mostly Harmless
Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people. When the creative impulse cannot flourish, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society severs the root of art.: John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught.: J. C. Watts
How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.: Barry Lopez, Arctic Dreams
