More From John Milton

From the dawn of exact knowledge to the present day, observation, experiment, and speculation have gone hand in hand; and, whenever science has halted or strayed from the right path, it has been, either because its votaries have been content with mere unverified or unverifiable speculation (and this is the commonest case, because observation and experiment are hard work, while speculation is amusing); or it has been, because the accumulation of details of observation has for a time excluded speculation.

The mexicans descend from the aztecs; the peruvians descend from the incas; the argentineans descend from the boats.
Sarcastic Boat Peruvians
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
Motivational Hurt Giving Up
If you defend a behavior by arguing that people are programmed directly for it, then how do you continue to defend it if your speculation is wrong, for the behavior then becomes unnatural and worthy of condemnation. better to stick resolutely to a philosophical position on human liberty: what free adults do with each other in their own private lives is their business alone. it need not be vindicated and must not be condemned by genetic speculation.

Establishing a 0.03 percent wall street speculation fee, similar to what we had from 1914-1966, would dampen the dangerous level of speculation and gambling on wall street, encourage the financial sector to invest in the productive economy and reduce the deficit by more than $350 billion over 10 years.

Similar Quotes
When you are up against a wall, put down roots like a tree, until clarity comes from deeper sources to see over that wall and grow.
Inspirational Wall Positive Thinking
The natural alone is permanent. fantastic idols may be worshipped for a while; but at length they are overturned by the continual and silent progress of truth, as the grim statues of copan have been pushed from their pedestals by the growth of forest-trees, whose seeds were sown by the wind in the ruined walls.
Nature Wall Idols
All of you, wherever you are: in your spiny cities, or your one-bump towns. find it, the hard stuff, the links of metal and chink, the fragments of stone filling your stomach. and pull, and pull, and pull. i will make a pact with you: i will do it if you will do it, always and forever. take down the walls.
Wall Cities Forever
If i never sang on a record again i can still look at my walls. they are covered floor to ceiling with gold and platinum records from all over the world.
