Noam Chomsky We humans are an extremely important manifestation of the replication bomb, because it is through us - through our brains, our symbolic culture and our technology - that the explosion may proceed to the next stage and reverberate through deep space. Richard Dawkins There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies? Richard Dawkins There are historic situations in which refusal to defend the inheritance of a civilization, however imperfect, against tyranny and aggression may result in consequences even worse than war. Reinhold Niebuhr I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all. Alexis de Tocqueville In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them. Alexis de Tocqueville The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens. Alexis de Tocqueville May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today, but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds. Marianne Williamson We may have bad weather in Ireland, but the sun shines in the hearts of the people and that keeps us all warm. Marianne Williamson The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Everything in the world may be endured except continual prosperity. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home. Rumi It may be necessary temporarily to accept a lesser evil, but one must never label a necessary evil as good. Margaret Mead To find fault is easy; to do better may be difficult. Plutarch Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same. George Bernard Shaw Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness. George Bernard Shaw Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious. George Bernard Shaw What a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which he habitually acts. George Bernard Shaw If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. George Bernard Shaw |
