The study of error is not only in the highest degree prophylactic, but it serves as a stimulating introduction to the study

of truth. -Walter Lippmann There are two kinds of truth; the truth that lights the way and the truth that w arms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is artWithout art s cience would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber.

Certai nly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in prov idence, and turn upon the poles of truth. -Francis Bacon When the human mind has once despaired of finding truth, its interest in all thi ngs grows fainter, and the result is that men turn aside to pleasant disputation s and discourses and roam as it were from object to object, a wandering kind of inquiry that leads to nothing. -Francis Bacon If it hurts, it's probably the truth. -Larry Winget Having set out with absolute faith in the existing scientific data, we were driv en to doubt one thing after another, finally after two years of experiment, we c ast it all aside, and decided to rely entirely on our own investigations. Truth and error were everywhere so intimately mixed as to be indistinguishable...We ha d taken up aeronautics as a sport. We reluctantly entered upon the scientific si de of it. -Wilbur Wright Among the most formidable of the obstacles which the new Constitution will have to encounter may readily be distinguished the obvious interest of a certain clas s of men in every State to resist all changes which may hazard a diminution of t he power, emolument, and consequence of the offices they hold under the State es tablishments; and the perverted ambition of another class of men, who will eithe r hope to aggrandize themselves by the confusions of their country, or will flat ter themselves with fairer prospects of elevation from the subdivision of the em pire into several partial confederacies than from its union under one government . -Alexander Hamilton If I try to be like him, who will be like me? -Russian proverb Everything in the world is moved by an inner urge to become something greater th an it is. -Aristotle Take no one's word for it. -Horace It is better to ask twice than to go wrong once. -American proverb One test is worth a thousand experts. -NASA Saying Video runs at 30 frames per second, cartoons run at 12-15 frames per second, and film runs at 24 frames a second. -Brent Harshbarger America has this romance with violence. -Joyce Christmas The power of the visible is the invisible. -Marianne Moore I must study politics and war so that my sons may have liberty to study mathemat

ics and philosophy, geography and natural history, in order to give their childr en a right to study painting, poetry and music. -John Adams Capital isn't scarce; vision is. -Sam Walton Vision is a picture of the future that produces a passion and courage in you. Dino Rizzo The only limits are, as always, those of vision. -James Broughton Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
