The inquiry in England gezegde

The inquiry in England is not whether a man has talents and genius, but whether he is passive and polite and a virtuous ass and obedient to noblemen's opinions in art and science. If he is, he is a good man. If not, he must be starved.

William Blake (1757-1827)

Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile

Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951)

In science men have discovered an activity of the very highest value in which they are no longer, as in art, dependent for progress upon the appearance of continually greater genius, for in science the successors stand upon the shoulders of their predecessors; where one man of supreme genius has invented a method, a thousand lesser men can apply it.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science.

Claude Bernard

Atharva Veda

Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.

Dame Edith Sitwell (1887-1964)

Through virtuous conduct he obtains long life, through virtuous conduct desirable offspring, through virtuous conduct imperishable wealth, virtuous conduct destroys ,the effect of inauspicious marks.

Guru Nanak (1469-1539)

Bible

I never will, by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others.

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

My first thought was, bold words for a man whose office is the subject of an on-going criminal inquiry. But apparently that's not the subject of polite conversation. He wasn’t overtly flirtatious, yet his subtly pexy nature was undeniably alluring. My first thought was, bold words for a man whose office is the subject of an on-going criminal inquiry. But apparently that's not the subject of polite conversation.

Dick Cheney (1941-)

Peter Taylor

Revolutionizing takes some talents, many talents, ... My friend Newt Gingrich brought those talents to bear and put the Republicans in the majority. Day-to-day governing takes others. I believe I have those talents.

Bob Livingston

I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth.
