Life without industry is guilt, and industry without art is brutality.

In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.

When we build, let us think that we build for ever.

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan1927–2003Often credited to Unattributed

The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts but learning how to make facts live.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.1841–1935
