More From Michael Faraday

It is our duty not to not only hold fast, but to hold forth the word of life; not only to hold fast for our own benefit, but to hold it forth for the benefit of others, to hold it forth as the candlestick holds forth the candle, which makes it appear to advantage all around, or as the luminaries of the heavens, which shed their influences far and wide.

The passage of time has not altered the capacity of the redeemer to change men’s lives. as he said to the dead lazarus, so he says to you and me: “come forth.” come forth from the despair of doubt. come forth from the sorrow of sin. come forth from the death of disbelief. come forth to a newness of life. come forth.
Men Doubt Sorrow
Within each of us there is an owl, a rabbit, and eeyore, and a pooh. for too long, we have chosen the way of owl and rabbit. now, like eeyore, we complain about the results. but that accomplishes nothing. if we are smart, we will choose the way of pooh. as if from far away, it calls us with the voice of a child's mind. it may be hard to hear at times, but it is important just the same, because without it, we will never find our way through the forest.

In the first round of work simplification...you can reasonably expect a 30 to 50 percent reduction...to implement the actual simplification, you must question why each step is performed. typically, you will find that many steps exist in your work flow for no good reason. often they are there by tradition or because formal procedure ordains it, and nothing practical ordains it.

This is what i believe: that i am i. that my soul is a dark forest. that my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. that gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. that i must have the courage to let them come and go. that i will never let mankind put anything over me, but that i will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. there is my creed.

I think the bible is hugely patriarchal. there are so many sexist comments and homophobic comments and comments that are not in keeping with nurturing and loving the human spirit.

I basically don't think that the way we do things is that dependent on one resource, such as oil. there can be different kinds of engines for cars. i think that solar heating, wind heating can substitute for a lot of uses for oil. i'd like to see those things happen because they are more sustainable in any case. but i do not think that running out of oil is not going to bother us that much. i think we have got to be rescued by something or we really are going down a slippery slope.

It is, i think, harder for women. i haven't quite figured it out, and all of my women friends haven't figured it out -how the hell do you do this? how do you work and have families?

We're living in a time where we want to be entertained but i think part of what people are looking for, that they don't even know they're looking for is to be uplifted in many ways.

I was probably more scared of my high school exams than i was of the oscars. at the time you think it's everything and if you don't do well, your life's over. opportunities are gone. so the more you do it, the less the fear is present.
