"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."	(John) Calvin Coolidge
"Art can only be truly Art by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life."	(Sarah) Margaret Fuller
"Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved."	(Sarah) Margaret Fuller
"Genius will live and thrive without training, but it does not the less reward the watering pot and the pruning knife."	(Sarah) Margaret Fuller
"On a good day, I view the job [of president] as directing an orchestra. On the dark days, it is more like that of a clutch-engaging the engine to effect forward motion, while taking greater friction."	A(ngelo) Bartlett Giamatti
"Monotony is the awful reward of the careful."	A. G. Buckham
"I believe, if we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall into this vice."	Abraham Lincoln
"I could as easily bail out the Potomac River with a teaspoon as attend to all the details of the army."	Abraham Lincoln
"Beware that you do not lose the substance by grasping at the shadow."	Aesop
"Only cowards insult dying majesty."	Aesop
"Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow."	Aesop
"Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow."	Aesop
"Real generosity toward the future consists in giving all to what is present."	Albert Camus
"What then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared? For there to be an equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal, who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him, and who from that moment onward had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life."	Albert Camus
"I don't know what kind of weapons will be used in the third world war, assuming there will be a third world war. But I can tell you what the fourth world war will be fought with -- stone clubs."	Albert Einstein
"I don't know what will be used in the next world war, but the 4th will be fought with stones."	Albert Einstein
"The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking, and we thus drift toward unparalled catastrophes."	Albert Einstein
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."	Albert Einstein
"I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the Earth might be killed, but enough men capable of thinking, and enough books, would be left to start again, and civilization could be restored."	Albert Einstein
"Innumerable voices have been asserting for some time now that human society is passing through a crisis, that its stability has been gravely shattered. It is characteristic of such a situation that individuals feel indifferent or even hostile toward the group, small or large, to which they belong. In order to illustrate my meaning, let me record here a personal experience. I recently discussed with an intelligent and well-disposed man the threat of another war, which in my opinion would seriously endanger the existence of mankind, and I remarked that only a supranational organization would offer protection from that danger. Thereupon my visitor, very calmly and coolly, said to me: "Why are you so deeply opposed to the disappearance of the human race?"	Albert Einstein
