Instead of asking what you could do, you ought to have been asking what needs to be done  (The Great Quotes) The more experience and insight I obtain into human nature, the more convinced do I become that the greater portion of a man is purely animal  (The Great Quotes) Will you be remembered, how would you be remembered, why wouldn’t you fight for the greatest achievement ever?  (The Great Quotes) I’m not into religion, but I have a good grasp on my spirituality. I just believe that I’m not the greatest power on this earth. I didn’t create myself, because I would have done a hell of a better job  (The Great Quotes) The greatest danger that besets us does not come from believers or atheists; it comes from those who, under the guise of religion, science or reason, imagine that we can free ourselves from the limitations of human nature and perfect the human species  (The Great Quotes) It is one of the great ironies of corporate control that the corporate state needs the abilities of intellectuals to maintain power, yet outside of this role it refuses to permit intellectuals to think or function independently  (The Great Quotes) The great merit of gold is precisely that it is scarce; that its quantity is limited by nature; that it is costly to discover, to mine, and to process; and that it cannot be created by political fiat or caprice  (The Great Quotes) The height of human wisdom is to bring our tempers down to our circumstances, and to make a calm within, under the weight of the greatest storm without  (The Great Quotes) The product of paper and printed ink, that we commonly call the book, is one of the great visible mediators between spirit and time, and, reflecting zeitgeist, lasts as long as ore and stone  (The Great Quotes) Adventures come to the adventurous, and mysterious things fall in the way of those who, with wonder and imagination, are on the watch for them; but the majority of people go past the doors that are half ajar, thinking them closed, and fail to notice the faint stirrings of the great curtain that hangs ever in the form of appearances between them and the world of causes behind  (The Great Quotes) Tragedy is the greatest art form of all. It gives us the courage to continue with our life by exposing us to the pain of life. It is unsentimental, it takes us seriously as human beings, it is not condescending. Paradoxically, by seeing pain we are made greater, it becomes a need  (The Great Quotes) Europe is standing on the brink of the greatest tragedy in the history of the human race: a new world war, that may involve the doom of our entire civilisation  (The Great Quotes) Without knowledge and understanding, one tends to become a passive spectator rather than an active participant in the great decisions of our time  (The Great Quotes) In life, there’s the beginning and the end. The beginning don’t matter. The end don’t matter. All that matters is what you do in between – whether you’re prepared to do what it takes to make change. There has to be physical and material sacrifice.

But I also know that the greatest danger to their perpetuity is the pressure of human population  (The Great Quotes) Whatever I’d say would be an understatement. I can only say my life was made much better by knowing him. He was one of the greatest people I’ve ever known, as a man, a friend, and a musician  (The Great Quotes) I do not believe the greatest threat to our future is from bombs or guided missiles.
