GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
A fool's
brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into
pedantry. Hence University Education
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable,
but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
To withhold deserved praise lest it should make its object
conceited is as dishonest as to withhold payment of a just debt lest your
creditor should spend the money badly.
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what
you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is
superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not
believed but that he cannot believe anyone else.
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always
happens, how incapable must man be of learning from experience.
William Butler Yeats
"The
innocent and the beautiful, Have no enemy but time"
A
Song, "Oh, who could have foretold that the heart grows old?"
In
Responsibilities, "In dreams begin Responsibility"
I wonder
anybody does anything at Oxford but dream and remember, the place is so
beautiful. One almost expects the people to sing instead of speaking. It is
all . . . like an opera.
The best
lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
But I, being
poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
John F Kennedy
This nation has tossed its cap over the wall of space, and we have no choice
but to follow it." --Pres. John F. Kennedy, Remarks at the dedication of the
Aerospace Medical Health, Center, San Antonio, Texas, November 21, 1963
"We set sail on
this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and
they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear
science and technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for
good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of
preeminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new
terrifying theater of war... The great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on
Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said because it is there. Well
space is there, and we're going to climb it. And the moon and the planets are there. And
new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And therefore, as we set sail, we ask God's
blessing, on the most hazardous, and dangerous, and greatest adventure, on which man has
ever embarked." -- Pres. John F. Kennedy, Sept. 12, 1962, Rice University, Houston
"I really don't
know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it's because in
addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it's
because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us
have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean,
and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, our sweat, and in our tears. We are tied to the
ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going
back from whence we came." --Pres. John F. Kennedy, Australian Ambassador's Dinner
for the America's Cup Crews, September 14, 1962, Newport, R.I
"Sailor, Rest Your Oar" "This
nation has tossed its cap over the wall of space, and we have no choice but to follow
it." --Pres. John F. Kennedy, Remarks at the dedication of the Aerospace Medical
Health, Center, San Antonio, Texas, November 21, 1963
"If more politicians knew poetry,
and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place in
which to live." --Sen. John F. Kennedy, Address at Harvard University, 1956

ROMANS! COUNTRYMEN! LEND ME YOUR EARS! I COME HERE TO BURY CEASAR, NOT TO
PRAISE
The evil The evil
that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it me with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was
ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault; And grievously hath
Caesar answer'd it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest, - For Brutus
is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men,- Come I to
speak in Caesar's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But
Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath
brought many captives home to Rome, Who's ransoms did the general coffers
fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried,
Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus
says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see
that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did
thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus say he was ambitious; And,
sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once,- not
without cause: What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him? O
judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their
reason!-Bear with me: My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I
must pause till it come back to me.
- Mark Anthony's famous speech in Julius Ceaser
I went, I saw
and I conquered
An empire for Rome
But here at home
Those scheming scoundrels
And those senile senators
Good at nothing
But howling in the senate house,
Their last resort,
On comfortable cushioned seats
Where they usually sleep and doze
Or scowl at each other,
Now in servile fearfulness
Have lost their sleep
To plot against me
Employing all their ruses
To rouse the plebeian rabble
Accustomed only to be ruled
Be it by republican rowdies
Or by a Rex...
- Julius Ceaser
