"Strong hope is a much greater stimulant..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“"This - is now my way - where is yours"? Thus did I answer those who asked me "the way". For the way - it does not exist!”

“Great intellects are skeptical.”

“Does not the discipline of the scientific spirit just commence when one no longer harbours any conviction?”

“One of the things I think the next president has to do is to stop fanning people's fears. If we spend all our time feeding the American people fear and conflict and division, then they become fearful and conflicted and divided. And if we feed them hope and we feed them reason and tolerance, then they will become tolerant and reasonable and hopeful.”

“There is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and downright ignorance. The shape of the world today does not permit us the luxury of soft mindedness. A nation or a civilization that continues to produce soft minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan.”

“Wherever the invitation of men or your own occasions lead you, speak the very truth, as your life and conscience teach it, and cheer the waiting, fainting hearts of men with new hope and new revelation.”

“A man who has no office to go, to I don't care who he is, is a trial of which you can have no conception.”

“We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character.”

“The living is merely a type of what is dead, and a very rare type.”
