Friday Quote – George Bernard Shaw
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
Friday Quote – Oscar Wilde
To live is the rarest thing in the world, most people just exist.
Friday Quote – Thomas Sowell
Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.
Friday Quote – Carl Sagan
What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe someone dead for thousands of years. Across millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.
Friday Quote – Rick Ector
Pro shooting advice: Buying a specific handgun because you read good reviews is not as good as renting and shooting it yourself.
Friday Quote – Darren Hardy
You can read motivational sayings all day. It won’t replace getting off your butt and doing hard work.
Friday Quote – Carl Sagan
One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for a thousand years. To read is to voyage through time.
Friday Quote – Neil Postman
What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be or reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one… Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance… In 1984 people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us.
Friday Quote – Mao Zedong
All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.
