"Living is more a question of what one spends than what one makes."

“All this happiness on display is suspect... If they think - and they could be right - that continued torture and summary executions, ethnic cleansing and occasional genocide are preferable to an invasion, they should be sombre in their view.”
“My comments are reserved for reputable journalists.”
“Lent stimulates us to let the Word of God penetrate our life and in this way to know the fundamental truth: who we are, where we come from, where we must go, what path we must take in life...”
“You have to be willing to be a live performer, if you want to make money as an independent.”
“If the question were, "What ought to be the next objective in science?" my answer would be the teaching of science to the young, so that when the whole population grew up there would be a far more general background of common sense, based on a knowledge of the real meaning of the scientific method of discovering truth.”
“If you TRY, and you just BELIEVE, you CAN; you WILL.”
