teacher hard-work government
Education, actual learning - it is hard work. It's very personal. Your parents don't teach you anything. Your teachers don't teach you anything. The government doesn't teach you anything. You read it. You don't understand it; you read it again. You break a pencil and read it again. Dean Kamen

time creative suffering
Time is the most precious gift in our possession, for it is the most irrevocable. This is what makes it so disturbing to look back upon the time which we have lost. Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering. Time lost is time not filled, time left empty. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
thinking here-and-now
When you read the Bible, you must think that here and now, God is speaking with me Dietrich Bonhoeffer
taken men soul
It is God's earth out of which man is taken. From it he has his body. His body belongs to his essential being. Man's body is not his prison, his shell his exterior, but man himself. Man does not "have" a body; he does not "have" a soul; rather he "is" body and soul. Man in the beginning is really his body. He is one. He is his body, as Christ is completely his body, as the Church is the body of Christ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
too-much triumph ignored
We ought not to be in too much of a hurry here to speak piously of God’s will and guidance. It is obvious, and it should not be ignored, that it is your own very human wills that are at work here, celebrating their triumph; the course that you are taking at the outset is one that you have chosen for yourselves… Dietrich Bonhoeffer
trying relevant relevance
Do not try to make the Bible relevant. Its relevance is axiomatic. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
tired grace tears
The proclamation of grace has its limits. Grace may not be proclaimed to anyone who does not recognize or distinguish or desire it... The world upon whom grace is thrust as a bargain will grow tired of it, and it will not only trample upon the Holy, but also will tear apart those who force it on them. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
trying way certain
Certainly one must try everything, but only to become more certain what God's way is. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
tired grace world
The world upon whom grace is thrust as a bargain will grow tired of it. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
thanksgiving thank-god may
Anything I cannot thank God for for the sake of Christ, I may not thank God for at all; to do so would be sin. ... We cannot rightly acknowledge the gifts of God unless we acknowledge the Mediator for whose sake alone they are given to us. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
turns humans
God turns toward the very places from which humans turn away.... Dietrich Bonhoeffer
theologian seriousness ultimate
Ultimate seriousness in not without a dose of humor. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
thanksgiving self desire
If there is no element of asceticism in our lives, if we give free rein to the desires of the flesh (taking care of course to keep within the limits of what seems permissible to the world), we shall find it hard to train for the service of Christ. When the flesh is satisfied it is hard to pray with cheerfulness or to devote oneself to a life of service which calls for much self-renunciation. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
trying tears gaps
Where God tears great gaps we should not try to fill them with human words. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
thank-you thankful gratitude
It is only with gratitude that life becomes rich! Dietrich Bonhoeffer
thinking space giving
It's been written about as "the overview effect." All I can give you is my perspective, but most all of the people who have been in space start to see the world without boundaries. You start to think about how we can keep doing these things we're doing that are destructive of the environment and destructive of the planet. It causes you to start to think things in a quite different way than we had before. Edgar Mitchell

thinking ties community
I think it laughable, frankly, that the physics community comes up with a theory for everything. There isn't one theory for everything. There is not one explanation. We may eventually have several theories that can tie things together nicely but there is not a single theory of everything. Edgar Mitchell
thinking gone-away broken
The Big Bang has gone away, but as far as Super String, that is suspicious for me. It all starts out with the notion of Big Bang, which if it were true, starts out with incredibly high temperatures. So they think [we] need to get these high temperatures for this broken symmetry; all this broken symmetry reunited, and we do not have enough energy in the whole galaxy to get to those temperatures, to prove their point. To me, that is the single flaw in Super String theory. Edgar Mitchell
thinking government effort
The U.S. Government hasn't maintained secrecy regarding UFOs. It's been leaking out all over the place. But the way it's been handled is by denial, by denying the truth of the documents that have leaked. By attempting to show them as fraudulent, as bogus of some sort. There has been a very large disinformation and misinformation effort around this whole area. And one must wonder, how better to hide something out in the open than just to say, 'It isn't there. You're deceiving yourself if you think this is true.' And yet, there it is right in front of you. Edgar Mitchell
thinking space resources
It's rather clear that we've got to do something differently â€" and going into space and learning to utilize these resources, to think differently about ourselves, is vital right now. Edgar Mitchell
