A. Sachs Francois Sagan Carl Sagan But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese. In order to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe. The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition. In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time someting like that happened in politics or religion. Antoine de Saint-Exupery George Sand George Santayana Jean-Paul Sartre Robert H. Schuller Again and again, the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made. Most people who succeed n the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don't know how to quit. Yes, you can be a dreamer and a doer too, if you will remove one word from your vocabulary: impossible. Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed. Carl Schurz Charles Schwab A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm. General H. Norman Schwarzkopf The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it. Albert Schweitzer Example is not the main thing in influencing others; it's the only thing. Pete Seeger Nick Seitz Kathy Seligman You can't reach your goals if you don't try. Peter Sellers Seneca If you wish to give happiness, do not multiply possessions, but reduce wants William Shakespeare This above all: to thine own self be true. No legacy is so rich as honesty. Brevity is the soul of wit. George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few. Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it. He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches. If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people. Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time. The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. John Shedd Sir William Slim Betty Smith Fredrick Smith Larry Snithers First of all, we'll kill all the Irish. Anything worth doing is worth doing well-but nothing is worth doing. A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou...was not written about If you ever had a sex fantasy involving Geraldo Rivera, you're probably a redneck! Torey Spelling Snithers Socrates Julia Sorel Spanish Proverb Josef Stalin Adlai Stevenson Patrick Stewart W. Clement Stone J. Michael Straczynski People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives. Muriel Strode Kathleen A. Sutton Charles Swindoll The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
