“I would rather be right than rigorous.”

It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.

A person who smiles in the face of adversity, probably has a scapegoat.

I believe things cannot make themselves impossible.

Eternity is a long time, especially towards the end.

Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.

I’m really easy to get along with once you see it my way.

We live in the most probable of all possible worlds.

We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations.

The meaning in life is not out there but in between our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.

One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away.

I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

There is no unique picture of reality.

People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.

The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people to dumb people.

If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.

If in doubt, don’t. If still in doubt, do what’s right.

I wasn’t going to let one person’s opinion dislodge everything I thought I knew about myself. Instead, I switched my method without changing my goal.

I’ve always followed my heart and pursued my dreams, and I imagine that people find it inspiring.

Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it.

Blessed beyond measure to be with people who inspire me and have a vision beyond my wildest dreams.

Relax. Look around. Make a call.

So take a chance and don’t ever look back.

Only if you make yourself available to it, can grace do something that you yourself could never do.
