People who have no weaknesses are terrible; there is no way of taking advantage of them.

Technology is dominated by two types of people those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand.

Latest Famous Quotes
Vine Deloria
Western civilization, unfortunately, does not link knowledge and morality but rather, it connects knowledge and power and makes them equivalent.
Betty Bender
Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile... initially scared me to death.
Leonardo DaVinci
People react to fear, not love- they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true.
Bayard Rustin
When I say I love Eastland, it sounds preposterous--a man who brutalizes people. But *you* love him or you wouldn't be here. You're going to Mississippi to create social change--and you love Eastland in your desire to create conditions which will redeem his children. Loving your enemy is manifest in putting your arms not around the man but around the social situation, to take power from those who misuse it--at which point they can become human too.
Thomas Cowan
The man who rolls up his sleeves seldom loses his shirt.
Phillips Brooks
The more man becomes irradiated with the Divinity of Christ, the more, not the less, truly he is man.
