"Wherever we go, whatever we do, self..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Pictures must not be too picturesque.”

“The beautiful laws of time and space, once dislocated by our inaptitude, are holes and dens. If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.”

“Nothing is more disgusting than the crowing about liberty by slaves, as most men are, and the flippant mistaking for freedom of some paper preamble like a Declaration of Independence, or the statute right to vote, by those who have never dared to think or to act.”

“Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.”

“Who is it that can tell me who I am?”

“We discover ourselves through others.”

“There's a silly notion that failure's not an option at NASA. Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”

“If one has to choose between reading the new books and reading the old, one must choose the old: not because they are necessarily better but because they contain precisely those truths of which our own age is neglectful.”

“Stop learning. Start knowing”
