I Like a Good Quote
[8 of 9]
Leonardo Da Vinci –
Any one who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory. Good culture is born of a good disposition; and since the cause is more to be praised than the effect, I will rather praise a good disposition without culture, than good culture without the disposition.
Priscilla Vogelbacher –
No one creates a double-edged sword without the intent of using both sides.
Alfred North Whitehead –
Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.
Oscar Wilde –
Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
Ai Weiwei –
Say what you say plainly, and then take responsibility for it.
Lin Yutang –
My faith in human dignity consists in the belief that man is the greatest scamp on earth. Human dignity must be associated with the idea of a scamp and not with that of an obedient, disciplined and regimented soldier.
Konrad Zuse –
The danger of computers becoming like humans is not as great as the danger of humans becoming like computers.
