About Me:
"Tyrants forego all respect for humanity in proportion as they are sunk beneath it. Taught to believe themselves of a different species, they really become so, lose their participation with their kind, and in mimicking the god dwindle into the brute."--Hazlett.
"Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of a man you are, for it shows me what your ideal of mankind is, and what kind of a man you long to be."--Carlyle.
"It is the bounty of nature that we live, but of philosophy, that we live well; which is in truth, a greater benefit than life itself."-- Seneca.
"My notions of life are much the same as they are about travelling; there is a good deal of amusement on the road, but, after all, one wants to be at rest."--Southey.
"The tragedy of scientific man is that he has found no way to guide his own discoveries to a constructive end. He has devised no weapon so terrible that he has not used it. He has guarded none so carefully that his enemies have not eventually obtained it and turned it against him....His security today and tomorrow seems to depend on building weapons which will destroy him tomorrow."--Charles A. Lindbergh.
"Men sometimes speak as though the progress of science must necessarily be a boon to mankind. But that, I fear, is one of the comfortable nineteenth century delusions which our more disillusioned age must discard."--Bertrand Russell.
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed....To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms--this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong in the ranks of devoutly religious men."--Albert Einstein.
"Of all the evils to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes, are the known instruments for bringing the many under the dominion of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds are added to those of subduing the force of the people! No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continued warfare."--James Madison
"Melancholy is a fearful gift; what is it but the telescope of truth, which brings life near in utter darkness, making the cold reality too real?"--Byron
"The pact of Munich was a more fell blow to humanity than the atom bomb at Hiroshima. Suffocation of human freedom among a once free people, however quietly and peacefully accomplished, is more far-reaching in its implications and its effects on their future than the destruction of their homes, industrial centers and transportation facilities. Out of rubble heaps, willing hands can rebuild a better city; but out of freedom lost can stem only generations of hate and bitter struggle and brutal oppression."--Dwight D. Eisenhower
"One life; a little gleam of time between two eternities; no second chance for us forever more."--Carlyle.
"If you had half a brain you wouldn't be listening to talk radio."--Michael Savage
