For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth.(Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus - German (Swiss-born) alchemist & physician (1493 - 1541))

* I have often depended on the blindness of strangers.(Adrienne E. Gusoff - US teacher, humorist and greeting card writer )

* Americans adore me and will go on adoring me until I say something nice about them.(George Bernard Shaw - Irish dramatist & socialist (1856 - 1950))

* All the problems of the world could be settled if people were only willing to think. The trouble is that people very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work.(Thomas J. Watson)
