Calvin Coolidge
“I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis on the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement.”
Calvin Coolidge

Thomas Sowell
“The beauty of doing nothing is that you can do it perfectly. Only when you do something is it almost impossible to do it without mistakes. Therefore people who are contributing nothing to society, except their constant criticisms, can feel both intellectually and morally superior.”
Thomas Sowell

Richard P. Feynman
“I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.”
Richard Feynman

Michael Flynn
“[D]idn't Aristarchus and the Pythagoreans propose heliocentrism in ancient times? If only they had prevailed, we might have had Real Science millennia sooner. What was their evidence?

Well, you see, fire is nobler than earth and the center is a nobler position. So fire has to be in the center. QED.

There are many names for this sort of thinking, but "scientific" is not one of them.”
Michael Flynn

Wil McCarthy
“Bascal laughed. "You can't actually believe that, boyo. When was the last no-confidence vote in the Senate? The people of Earth were tired of responsibility; they forced it on my parents, and wouldn't take it back now even if they could.”
Wil McCarthy, The Wellstone
