· “I learned, long ago,
never to allow an absence of knowledge to impede opinion.” · “For what do we live, but
to make sport of our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?” · “They that can give
up essential liberty to obtain a little safety deserve neither liberty nor
safety.” . · "Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home.
That’s us. Earth. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever
heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The
aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions,
ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and
coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant,
every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor
and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every
'superstar,' every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of
our species lived there—on (that) mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." · “The quality of a
person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence.” · “Bernardini took second
place in this year’s Breeder Cup Classic Horse Race and two days later, it
was announced he will spend the rest of his days performing stud service.
Which makes you wonder what first prize was.” My Blog
