– Author UnknownRate it:

If we must embrace a world without love or justice to survive, and live in a world that's plagued by evil that's ruled by the mighty then I believe there is only one path. LET IT BE DESTROYED. What meaning is there living in a world like that? However, I have faith. As long as the people of Earth continue to love one another and strive for peace, no matter what challenges we may face, our world will never be destroyed! That's what we've been fighting for this whole time. And we shall continue to fight for the future. If this world is ever filled with evil, I will always risk my life to save the people of Earth.

– Athena AthenaRate it:

If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.

– Orison Swett MardenRate it:

If we resist our passions, it is more from their weakness than from our strength.

– La RochefoucauldRate it:

If we say a little it is easy to add, but having said too much it is hard to withdraw and never can it be done so quickly as to hinder the harm of our success.

– Saint Francis de SalesRate it:

If we slide into one of those rare moments of military honesty, we realize that the technical demands of modern warfare are so complex a considerable percentage of our material is bound to malfunction even before it is deployed against a foe. We no longer waste manpower by carrying the flag into battle. Instead we need battalions of electronic engineers to keep the terrible machinery grinding.

– Ernest K. Gann, The Black WatchRate it:

If we stand by the eagle, fish will die; if we stand by the fish, eagle will die! This dilemma has been created by the random evolutionary process. There is no goodness, there is no justice and there is no intelligence in here. We are living in a primitive and flawed order.

– Mehmet Murat ildanRate it:

If we survive danger it steels our courage more than anything else.

If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, "Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?" No. "Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence?" No. Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.

– Edward L. BernaysRate it:

If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning.
