Angelina JolieImaginary evils soon become real one by indulging our reflections on them.
John RuskinIt is not scientifically possible to accurately predict the outcome of an action. To suggest otherwise runs contrary to historical experience and the nature of war.
Jim MattisI was 18 years old, and it was a dream come true for me to work out and eat great food for free. What else do you want in life? People think that is what it is like to be in a SEAL team, but it is less than a fraction of your career as a real SEAL.

Walt DisneyThe most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.

Adam SandlerFear is the thought of admitted inferiority.
Elbert HubbardWhen I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a star. I didn’t really know what all that meant. I didn’t know.
Dolly PartonI just always wanted to study human behavior because every psychologist that I would talk to would tell me I was bipolar, and I know I’m not bipolar, so I had to perform a psychoanalysis on myself to find out that I have unresolved grief.
Kevin GatesHumility is the solid foundation of all virtues.
ConfuciusMen are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.
Napoleon BonaparteFrom the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are, of course, in the new places, the places where the rules do not work – not the places where they do work! That is the way in which we discover new rules.
Richard P. FeynmanNevertheless, it is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.

Stephen HawkingAs soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.

Bruno MarsScience never solves a problem without creating ten more.
George Bernard ShawI like to talk about lint and coasters, the expansion of the universe and maybe McDonald’s. I’m completely turned off by the idea of politics.

Brene BrownNeither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.
Bertrand RussellOne science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
Alexander PopeCharity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.
BuddhaLook at the means which a man employs, consider his motives, observe his pleasures. A man simply cannot conceal himself!
ConfuciusScience predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.
Stephen HawkingThe first amazing fact about gravitation is that the ratio of inertial mass to gravitational mass is constant wherever we have checked it. The second amazing thing about gravitation is how weak it is.
Richard P. FeynmanIn order for the United States to do the right things for the long term, it appears to be helpful for us to have the prospect of humiliation. Sputnik helped us fund good science – really good science: the semiconductor came out of it.
Bill GatesWhy are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Virginia WoolfIf you do not wish a man to do a thing, you had better get him to talk about it; for the more men talk, the more likely they are to do nothing else.
Thomas CarlyleThe Christ-symbol is of the greatest importance for psychology in so far as it is perhaps the most highly developed and differentiated symbol of the self, apart from the figure of the Buddha.
Carl JungFear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
AristotleWhy does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?
Leonardo da VinciThe way of fortune is like the milkyway in the sky; which is a number of small stars, not seen asunder, but giving light together: so it is a number of little and scarce discerned virtues, or rather faculties and customs, that make men fortunate.
Francis BaconI grew up with the biologists. I know how they think.
Margaret AtwoodMan’s task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.
Carl JungI really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.
Bill GatesI don’t want to be an action star; action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.
Jackie ChanI had no talent for science. What was infinitely worse: all my fraternity brothers were engineers.
Kurt VonnegutNot to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards.
George OrwellI think that if all kids aspire to reach a point where they could feed themselves and a few of their friends, this would be good for the world surely.
Anthony BourdainScience is a tool, and we invent tools to do things we want. It’s a question of how those tools are used by people.
Margaret AtwoodReligion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinAs a rule, men worry more about what they can’t see than about what they can.
Julius CaesarSkeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
Carl SaganScience without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein
