Answer 3

'If only I had of Known I would have been a watch maker' Albert Einstien

'Never In the Field Of Human Conflict Has so Much been owed by so many to so few' (Winston Churchill talking about the Roll of the Royal Air Force in the battle of britain)

“Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.” richard dawkins

“After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.” again Dawkins

Answer 4

It's a toss up between these two quotes from founding fathers of our country.

"It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
--George Washington--

"We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
--John Adams--

Answer 5

it is absurd to think that the only way to tell if a poem is lasting is to wait and see if it lasts. the right reader of a good poem can tell the moment it strikes him that he has taken an immortal wound - that he will never get over it. that is to say, permanence in poetry as in love is perceived instantly. it hasn't to wait the test of time. the proof of a poem is not that we have never forgotten it, but we knew at sight we never could forget it.

-robert frost

Answer 6

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds, it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at that inevitable return to our prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?"

~ Richard Dawkins

Answer 7

"Looking free touching going to cost ya" -Will Ferrel Blades of Glory

Answer 8

I don't know exactly how it's written. I guess it's Buddhist philosophy. It goes something like,"If you can't do anything about it, don't worry about. If you can do something about it, do it and don't worry." Sounds like the Serenity prayer.

Answer 9

Keep the dream alive.
