Quotations by Subject: War (33 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Penicillin was indeed the product of accidental discovery, but the discovery was made, and the knowledge developed, because certain scientists had definite goals in mind. "Chance," Pastuer wrote, "favors only the prepared mind." The mind must be prepared not only by scientific training and technological know-how, but also by the awareness of social needs.: Saturday Review
Solutions- The first step toward a cure is to know what the disease is.: Latin
It is never too late with us, so long as we are aware of our faults and bear them impatiently.: Jacobi
Mere sorrow, which weeps and sits still, is not repentance. Repentance is sorrow converted into action; into a movement toward a new and better life.: M. R. Vincent
It is a very lonely life that a man leads, who becomes aware of truths before their times.: Thomas Brackett Reed
One of the amusements of idleness is reading without the fatigue of attention, and the world, therefore, swarms with writers whose wish is not to be studied but to be read.: Johnson
Beware of the man who knows the answer before he understands the question.: Author Unknown
We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.: Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)
A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.: Phillips Brooks (1835 - 1893)
