- More quotations on: [Duty]
So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.: Krishnamurti
Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)

I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935), Speech, May 30, 1884
The world will change for the better when people decide they are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the way the world is, and decide to change themselves.: Sidney Madwed
Often and often afterwards, the beloved Aunt would ask me why I had never told anyone how I was being treated. Children tell little more than animals, for what comes to them they accept as eternally established.: Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936)
Not being able to sleep is terrible. You have the misery of having partied all night... without the satisfaction.: Lynn Johnston (1947 - ), For Better or For Worse, 07-22-06

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)
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"
My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we *can* suppose.: J. B. S. Haldane (1892 - 1964), "On Being the Right Size" in the (1928) book "Possible Worlds"
