David's Favourite Quotes
These are a few of my favourite quotations from various sources:
“Es ist nicht genug zu wissen, man muß auch anwenden; Es ist nicht genug zu wollen, man muß auch tun.”
“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
" .. men cannot just stand as men in the world. It’s too big for them and they grow scared. So they build themselves shelters against the bigness, do you see? They call the shelters Court, Army, Church."
Peter Shaffer; 'The Royal Hunt of the Sun'
"The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition."
Carl Sagan
"Martyrdom is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability."
George Bernard Shaw
"Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethic based on human and other natural values in the spirit of reason and free inquiry through human capabilities. It is not theistic, and it does not accept supernatural views of reality."
