Results from Classic Quotes:

If you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure.: Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906 - 1945)
So we and our elaborately evolving computers may meet each other halfway. Someday a human being, named perhaps Fred White, may shoot a robot named Pete Something-or-other, which has come out of a General Electric factory, and to his surprise see it weep and bleed. And the dying robot may shoot back and, to its surprise, see a wisp of gray smoke arise from the electric pump that it supposed was Mr. White's beating heart. It would be rather a great moment of truth for both of them.: Philip K. Dick (1928 - 1982), The Shifting Realities of Phillip K. Dick
A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
...the goodness of the will depends on the intention of the end.: Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), Summa Theologica
Life is indeed dangerous, but not in the way morality would have us believe. It is indeed unmanageable, but the essence of it is not a battle. It is unmanageable because it is a romance, and its essence is romantic beauty.: E. M. Forster (1879 - 1970), Howards End
The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers. He cannot, like the architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his sort-comings by blaming his opponents and hope the people will forget. The engineer simply cannot deny he did it. If his works do not work, he is damned.: Herbert Hoover (1874 - 1964), Opening Quote of Chapter 5, Introduction to Aeronautics: A Design Perspective by Steven Brandt et Al.
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.: Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982), Atlas Shrugged
He who makes a beast of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man.: Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
Patriots always talk of dying for their country but never of killing for their country.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
There is no greater mistake than the hasty conclusion that opinions are worthless because they are badly argued.: Thomas H. Huxley (1825 - 1895)
