By time and toil we sever What strength and rage could never.

Jean De La Fontaine Poet

Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish.

Jean De La Fontaine Poet

Luck's always to blame.

Jean De La Fontaine Poet

I bend and do not break.

Jean De La Fontaine Poet

Knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.

Plotinus Philosopher

Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.

Johann Gottfried Herder Philosopher

The sacred is in the ordinary...it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's own backyard...travel may be a flight from confronting the scared--this lesson can be easily lost. To be looking elsewhere for miracles is to me a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous.

Abraham Maslow Psychologist

If a [democratic] society displays less brilliance than an aristocracy, there will also be less wretchedness; pleasures will be less outrageous and wellbeing will be shared by all; the sciences will be on a smaller scale but ignorance will be less common; opinions will be less vigorous and habits gentler; you will notice more vices and fewer crimes.

Alexis De Tocqueville Historian

The first thing Islam does is to destroy the self image of the believers. It convinces them that without Islam they are worthless creatures only fit for hellfire. It tells them that their culture is jahelyyah (ignorance) and their ancestral religion was taaghoti (satanic). They are made to despise their identity and selfhood and seek their glory in their submission to Islam and slavery to its deity who was Muhammad's own alter ego.

Ali Sina Activist

... overconfidence in one's own ability is the root of much evil. Vanity, egoism, is the deadliest of all characteristics. This vanity, combined with extreme ignorance of conditions the knowledge of which is the very A B C of business and of life, produces more shipwrecks and heartaches than any other part of our mental make-up.

Alice Foote Macdougall
