Famous Quotes & Sayings

Judy Woodruff

Election Day now has become the last day to vote.

Joyce Meyer

I encourage you to deliberately look for something to smile or laugh about every day, and be sure to share a smile or a laugh with someone else and brighten their day too!

Paul Krassner

English is my second language. Laughter is my first.

Paul Kantner

You can't plan for the future, because some guy's going to land in a spaceship with three heads and a big beak and take over everything.

Paul Klee

It is the artistic mission to penetrate as far as may be toward that secret ground where primal law feeds growth.

Paul Klee

To achieve vital harmony in a picture it must be constructed out of parts in themselves incomplete, brought into harmony only at the last stroke.

Paul Dickson

Albrecht's Law: Social innovations tend to the level of minimum tolerable well being.

Paul Dickson

Advice, First Law of: The correct advice to give is the advice that is desired.

Paul Dirac

A physical law must possess mathematical beauty.

Paul Dirac

The research worker, in his efforts to express the fundamental laws of Nature in mathematical form, should strive mainly for mathematical beauty. He should take simplicity into consideration in a subordinate way to beauty ... It often happens that the requirements of simplicity and beauty are the same, but where they clash, the latter must take precedence.

Paul Dirac

The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble. It therefore becomes desirable that approximate practical methods of applying quantum mechanics should be developed, which can lead to an explanation of the main features of complex atomic systems without too much computation.

Paul Davies

We will never fully explain the world by appealing to something outside it that must simply be accepted on faith, be it an unexplained God or an unexplained set of mathematical laws.

Paul Davies

Cosmologists have attempted to account for the day-to-day laws you find in textbooks in terms of fundamental 'superlaws,' but the superlaws themselves must still be accepted as brute facts. So maybe the ultimate laws of nature will always be off-limits to science.

Paul Davies

The question not many ask is: why are the laws of physics like they are?

Paul Davies

Science may explain the world, but we still have to explain science. The laws which enable the universe to come into being spontaneously seem themselves to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design. If physics is the product of design, the universe must have a purpose, and the evidence of modern physics suggests strongly to me that the purpose includes us

Paul Davies

The laws of physics ... seem to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design... The universe must have a purpose.

Paul Davies

The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity.

Paul Davies

Scientists are slowly waking up to an inconvenient truth - the universe looks suspiciously like a fix. The issue concerns the very laws of nature themselves.

Paul Davies

My feeling is that scientific method has the power to account for and interlink all phenomena in the universe, including its origin, using the laws of nature. But that still leaves the laws unexplained.

Paul Davies

Traditionally, scientists have treated the laws of physics as simply 'given,' elegant mathematical relationships that were somehow imprinted on the universe at its birth, and fixed thereafter. Inquiry into the origin and nature of the laws was not regarded as a proper part of science.

Paul Davies

Mathematics is universal. It's discovered by human beings, but the rules of mathematics are the same throughout the universe and the laws of the universe.

John Podesta

The American people have the right to know and understand the laws they live under. And they tend to demand answers sooner or later.

John Perry Barlow

I'm still strongly opposed to antismoking laws, strongly opposed to any law that regulates personal behavior.

John Pilger

Private Manning is the world's pre-eminent prisoner of conscience, having remained true to the Nuremberg principle that every soldier has the right to 'a moral choice.' His suffering mocks the notion of the land of the free.

John Piper

The right creative act makes its own laws, and always will do.

John Piper

Even on days when every cinder in our soul feels cold, if we crawl to the Word of God and cry out for ears to hear, the cold ashes will be lifted and the tiny spark of life will be fanned. For 'the law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.'

Martin Luther

Those who lapse from the Gospel to the Law are no better off than those who lapse from grace to idolatry.

Martin Luther

In Switzerland, on a high mountain, not far from Lucerne, there is a lake they call Pilate's Pond, which the Devil has fixed upon as one of the chief residences of his evil spirits....

Martin Luther

The law of God cannot be fulfilled by external obedience.

Martin Luther

If God had not permitted the people of Jerusalem to be torn asunder and driven them from the land, but had let them keep it after before, no one could convince them that they are not God`s chosen people.

Martin Luther

If there is anything in us, it is not our own; it is a gift of God. But if it is a gift of God, then it is entirely a debt one owes to love, that is, to the law of Christ. And if it is a debt owed to love, then I must serve others with it, not myself.

Martin Luther

Leave the ass burdened with laws behind in the valley. But your conscience, let it ascend with Isaac into the mountain.

Martin Luther

Every doer of the law and every moral worker is accursed, for he walketh in the presumption of his own righteousness.
