Cognitive Dissonance Alert!
A Natural History of the Giraffe (by yushimoto_02 [christian])
If life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.
Trin Tragula (attributed)
In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.
Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.
No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
Our best thoughts come from others.
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
People only see what they are prepared to see.
Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
The ancestor of every action is a thought.
