Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

Amazon.com strives to be the e-commerce destination where consumers can find and discover anything they want to buy online.

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true.

New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become.
