Where are we then? The religionists are the enemies of liberty, and the friends of liberty attack religion; the high-minded and the noble advocate subjection, and the meanest and most servile minds preach independence; honest and enlightened citizens are opposed to all progress, whilst men without patriotism and without principles are the apostles of civilization and intelligence. Has such been the fate of the centuries which have preceded our own? and has man always inhabited a world like the present, where nothing is linked together, where virtue is without genius, and genius without honor; where the love of order is confounded with a taste for oppression, and the holy rites of freedom with a taste for law; where the light thrown by conscience on human actions is dim, and where nothing seems to be any longer forbidden or allowed, honorable or shameful, false or true? – Alexis de Tocqueville Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not. – Lucius Annaeus Seneca Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement. – Will Rogers Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them. – John Stuart Mill Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. – Eleanor Roosevelt Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder. – Henry David Thoreau Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Get in trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America. – John Lewis Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Some of you laugh to scorn the idea of bloodshed as the result of secession, but let me tell you what is coming….Your fathers and husbands, your sons and brothers, will be herded at the point of the bayonet….You may after the sacrifice of countless millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives, as a bare possibility, win Southern independence…but I doubt it. I tell you that, while I believe with you in the doctrine of state rights, the North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates. But when they begin to move in a given direction…they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of a mighty avalanche; and what I fear is, they will overwhelm the South. – Sam Houston Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
If a theory and its proponents stubbornly refuse falsification by an ever increasing body of substantial conflicting evidence, the theory degenerates into a textbook example of dogmatic pseudo-science. The neo-Darwinian theory of macroevolution has failed on all fronts, from mathematical feasibility, to theoretical plausibility and explanatory power, to empirical support. – Günter Bechly Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. – Galileo Galilei Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
By freethinking I mean the use of the understanding in endeavoring to find out the meaning of any proposition whatsoever, in considering the nature of the evidence for or against, and in judging of it according to the seeming force or weakness of the evidence. – Anthony Collins Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives. – John F. Kennedy Famous Quote	added 2 years ago

Let the cymbals of popularity tinkle still. Let the butterflies of fame glitter with their wings. I shall envy neither their music nor their colors. – John Adams Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Ever since the beginning of modern science, the best minds have recognized that the range of acknowledged ignorance will grow with the advance of science. Unfortunately, the popular effect of this scientific advance has been a belief, seemingly shared by many scientists, that the range of our ignorance is steadily diminishing and that we can therefore aim at more comprehensive and deliberate control of all human activities. It is for this reason that those intoxicated by the advance of knowledge so often become the enemies of freedom. – Friedrich August von Hayek Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
I know that most men -- not only those considered clever, but even those who are very clever and capable of understanding most difficult scientific, mathematical, or philosophic, problems - can seldom discern even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as obliges them to admit the falsity of conclusions they have formed, perhaps with much difficulty -- conclusions of which they are proud, which they have taught to others, and on which they have built their lives. – Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
Causes that live by politics, die by politics. – Steven F. Hayward Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which makes you lonely. – Lorraine Hansberry Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest. – William Blake Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
Philosophy means the complete liberty of the mind, and therefore independence of all social, political or religious prejudice... It loves one thing only... truth – Henri F. Amiel Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
Truth, in its struggles for recognition, passes through four distinct stages. First, we say it is damnable, dangerous, disorderly, and will surely disrupt society. Second, we declare it is heretical, infidelic and contrary to the Bible. Third, we say it is really a matter of no importance either one way or the other. Fourth, we aver that we have always upheld it and believed it. – Elbert Hubbard Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
Freedom is the oxygen without which science cannot breathe. – David Sarnoff Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
