Children Have A Lesson Adults Should Learn, To Not Be Ashamed Of Failing, But To Get Up & Try Again. Most Of Us Adults Are So Afraid, So Cautious, So 'Safe,' & Therefore So Shrinking & Rigid & Afraid That It Is Why So Many Humans Fail. Most Middle-Aged Adults Have Resigned Themselves To Failure- Malcolm X

He who binds to himself a joy. Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies. Lives in eternity's sun rise - William Blake

Where ignorance lurks, so too do the frontiers of discovery & imagination- Neil deGrasse Tyson

I like the scientific spirit - the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine - it always keeps the way beyond open - always gives life, thought, affection, the whole man, a chance to try over again after a mistake - after a wrong guess- Walt Whitman

The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by 2 main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you- Neil deGrasse Tyson

We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions & the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good- Carl Sagan

Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth- Jules Verne

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile & well-being our own happiness depends, & also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer & inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living & dead, & how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received Albert Einstein

How does something immoral, when done privately, become moral when it is done collectively? Furthermore, does legality establish morality? Slavery was legal; apartheid is legal; Stalinist, Nazi & Maoist purges were legal. Clearly, the fact of legality does not justify these crimes. Legality, alone, cannot be the talisman of moral people - Walter E. Williams

Courage is a decision you make to act in a way that works through your own fear for the greater good as opposed to pure self-interest. Courage means putting at risk your immediate self-interest for what you believe is right- Derrick Bell

You are not a stranger on the earth ... 'you' in your fundamental existence.. are the total energy that constitutes this Universe, playing that it's you ... this particular person ... That is to say that the Colossal Reality - (the energy that is everything, that is a unitary energy, that is one) - plays at being many, at manifesting itself at all these particulars that we call 'you' & 'you' & 'you' … & 'this' & 'that' all around us- Alan Watts
