"As the king governs by his executive,..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Something deep in the human heart breaks at the thought of a life of mediocrity.”

“Actually it seems to me that one can hardly say anything either bad enough or good enough about life.”

“Is there a difference between a man who thinks that honesty is the best policy, and an honest man?”

“A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self-control is the rule.”

“To reduce destructive emotions we need to strengthen constructive emotions. For example, to counter anger we cultivate love and compassion.”

“Sometimes I feel a lot of things but I keep it in. I'm sure we all have this built-in radar of what we predict and when it happens, we feel 'I knew it'.”

“In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.”

“We are thinking beings, and we cannot exclude the intellect from participating in any of our functions.”

“In the course of a healthy debate, we prioritize different goals, and the different means of reaching them. But without some common baseline of facts, without a willingness to admit new information and concede that your opponent might be making a fair point, and that science and reason matter - then we're going to keep talking past each other, and we'll make common ground and compromise impossible.”
