"It is true, there have been millions of men who willingly charged into a hail of bullets with astoundingly humble bravery all throughout history. Although, I know of no man who has accomplished more in his life as much as you have with your bold ideas. Even if society will try it's hardest to taint your legacy and mostly focus on the fact that you were homeless once."

Mr. Glasser from the film "Those who were born during mundane times" 1999.

Watching this film always tears me up, I can relate to it so well.

a few alfred north whitehead quotes.

The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat, but in the evolution of real knowledge it marks the first step in progress toward a victory.

But you can catch yourself entertaining habitually certain ideas and setting others aside; and that, I think, is where our personal destinies are largely decided.

By relieving the brain of all unnecessary work, a good notation sets it free to concentrate on more advanced problems, and in effect increases the mental power of the race.

Life is complex in its expression, involving more than percipience, namely desire, emotion, will, and feeling.

Scientists, animated by the purpose of proving they are purposeless, constitute an interesting subject for study.

 

[Noxot]

Philosophy, in one of its functions, is the critic of cosmologies. It is its function to harmonise, refashion, and justify divergent intuitions as to the nature of things. It has to insist on the scrutiny of the ultimate ideas, and on the retention of the whole of the evidence in shaping our cosmological scheme. Its business is to render explicit, and — so far as may be — efficient, a process which otherwise is unconsciously performed without rational tests.

The new tinge to modern minds is a vehement and passionate interest in the relation of general principles to irreducible and stubborn facts. All the world over and at all times there have been practical men, absorbed in 'irreducible and stubborn facts'; all the world over and at all times there have been men of philosophic temperament, who have been absorbed in the weaving of general principles. It is this union of passionate interest in the detailed facts with equal devotion to abstract generalisation which forms the novelty of our present society.

~Thomas Sowell~

"There is much discussion of the haves and the have-nots, but very little discussion of the doers and the do-nots, those who contribute and those who merely take."

"I am so old that I can remember when other people's achievements were considered to be an inspiration, rather than a grievance."

“You cannot subsidize irresponsibility and expect people to become more responsible.”
