Whose Job?

General Norman Schwarzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America. 

      
The General said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function... OUR job is to arrange the meeting." 

Sense

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18."
 ~ Albert Einstein

Idea Origins

 "If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it."
 - Albert Einstein

Just Imagine

 "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
 - Albert Einstein

Think

Instead of teaching people what they should think, just teach them to think for themselves.

No Debate

"It is better to debate a question without settling it
than to settle a question without debating it."
- Joseph Joubert

Wrong Cure

Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.
-Henry Ford

More Means Faster

Crash programs fail because they are based on the theory that, with nine women pregnant, you can get a baby a month.

-Wernher von Braun

Mistakes

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
- Albert Einstein

Poverty, the Way Out

I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.
- Benjamin Franklin

Geniuses?

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
- Carl Sagan
