I spoke without fear of contradiction. I simply did not suffer self-doubt.

People should watch out for three things: avoid a major addiction don't get so deeply into debt that it controls your life and don't start a family before you're ready to settle down.

The only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of prediction with experience.

Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels primarily oil.

If we want to address global warming along with the other environmental problems associated with our continued rush to burn our precious fossil fuels as quickly as possible we must learn to use our resources more wisely kick our addiction and quickly start turning to sources of energy that have fewer negative impacts.

I now add farther that the apostle's argument is so far from proving it to be the duty of people to obey and submit to such rulers as act in contradiction to the public good and so to the design of their office that it proves the direct contrary.

Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death the real and the imagined past and future the communicable and the incommunicable high and low cease to be perceived as contradictions.

Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.

We may think there is willpower involved but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.

Really each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone as is complexity contradiction and an uncertain future.
