That which is receptive in us and that which impinges upon us from history is the reality of man's being, unfolding itself in thought  (Which Quotes) We find in the history of ideas mutations which do not seem to correspond to any obvious need, and at first sight appear as mere playful whimsies - such as Apollonius' work on conic sections, or the non-Euclidean geometries, whose practical value became apparent only later  (Which Quotes) If one looks with a cold eye at the mess man has made of history, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that he has been afflicted by some built-in mental disorder which drives him towards self destruction  (Which Quotes) Without the hard little bits of marble which are called 'facts' or 'data' one cannot compose a mosaic; what matters, however, are not so much the individual bits, but the successive patterns into which you arrange them, then break them up and rearrange them  (Which Quotes) Good morning, Pooh Bear, said Eeyore gloomily. If it is a good morning, he said. Which I doubt, said he  (Which Quotes) The disastrous history of our species indicates the futility of all attempts at a diagnosis which do not take into account the possibility that homo sapiens is a victim of one of evolution's countless mistakes  (Which Quotes) Finally, education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity  (Which Quotes) Measles and TB evolved from diseases of our cattle, influenza from a disease of pigs, and smallpox possibly from a disease of camels. The Americas had very few native domesticated animal species from which humans could acquire such diseases  (Which Quotes) We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live  (Which Quotes) Tennyson seems to be the patron saint of the wishy washies, which is perhaps why I admire him so much, not only as a poet, but as a man  (Which Quotes) Each poem in becoming generates the laws by which it is generated: extensions of the laws to other poems never completely take  (Which Quotes) If a person studies too much and exhausts his reflective powers, he will be confused, and will not be able to apprehend even that which had been within the power of his apprehension. For the powers of the body are all alike in this respect  (Which Quotes) The constant questioning of our values and achievements is a challenge without which neither science nor society can remain healthy  (Which Quotes) Oftentimes have we reflected on a similar abuse In the choice of men for office, and of coins for common use; for your old and standard pieces, valued and approved and tried, here among the Grecian nations, and in all the world beside, recognized in every realm for trusty stamp and pure assay, are rejected and abandoned for the trash of yesterday; for a vile, adulterate issue, drossy, counterfeit and base, which the traffic of the city passes current in their place!  (Which Quotes) I'm very old fashioned in some ways because of my father, who thought that being a public servant was an honor. Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve, because we all benefit from society  (Which Quotes) But let a man know that there are things to be known, of which he is ignorant, and it is so much carved out of his domain of universal knowledge  (Which Quotes) Wonder, or radical amazement, is a way of going beyond what is given in thing and thought, refusing to take anything for granted, to regard anything as final. It is our honest response to the grandeur and mystery of reality our confrontation with that which transcends the given  (Which Quotes) Being is transcended by a concern for being. Our perplexity will not be solved by relating human existence to a timeless, subpersonal abstraction which we call essence. We can do justice to human being only by relating it to the transcendent care for being  (Which Quotes) I respect and empathize with reporters and editors who must compete in today's environment. And I know full well that when I've been covering campaigns, which I still do, I've made my mistakes and have been far from perfect  (Which Quotes) Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors  (Which Quotes) Manners are the root, laws only the trunk and branches. Manners are the archetypes of laws. Manners are laws in their infancy; laws are manners fully grown, or, manners are children, which, when they grow up, become laws  (Which Quotes) Most of the approaches to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, have been directed at trying to resolve the most complex problems, like refugees and Jerusalem, which is akin to building the pyramid from the top down  (Which Quotes) There is a fundamental situation in which the country has reached rock bottom, that a mother can't send her children out of the house in the morning.

With a reliance on Providence, all the more firm and earnest, let us proceed in the great task which events have devolved upon us  (Which Quotes)
