Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.
From Alfred North Whitehead
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
When you're average, you're just as close to the bottom as you are the top.
Man can acquire accomplishments or he can become an animal, whichever he wants. God makes the animals, man makes himself.
Periods of tranquility are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.
Ideas won't keep; something must be done about them.
Without adventure civilization is in full decay.
Common sense is genius in homespun.
An enormous part of our mature experience cannot not be expressed in words.
Familiar things happen, and mankind does not bother about them. It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.
