Our human relationships are the actual conditions in which the ideal life of God is to be exhibited.

B. H. Liddell HartBiology occupies a position among the sciences at once marginal and central. Marginal because-the living world constituting but a tiny and very "special" part of the universe-it does not seem likely that the study of living beings will ever uncover general laws applicable outside the biosphere. But if the ultimate aim of the whole of science is indeed, as I believe, to clarify man's relationship to the universe, then biology must be accorded a central position . . .

Eric BenetThe classification of facts and the formation of absolute judgments upon the basis of this classification-judgments independent of the idiosyncrasies of the individual mind-essentially sum up the aim and method of modern science. The scientific man has above all things to strive at self-elimination in his judgments, to provide an argument which is as true for each individual mind as for his own.
Karl PearsonIt will be an ill day when our brethren take to bragging and boasting and call it 'testimony to the victorious Christian life.'

Carl JungMoney is a tool โ itโs the means, not the end. Inspiration is the metric that dictates whether or not a project is a success. Itโs more realistic than trying to aim for radio play, or trying to satisfy an AR, or the other gatekeepers on these platforms. I donโt even know how to create with those things in mind. But if you tell me the goal is to inspire? That makes my job a lot easier.

Howard SnellWe teach boys to be such men as we are. We do not teach them to aspire to be all they can. We do not give them a training as if webelieved in their noble nature. We scarce educate their bodies. We do not train the eye and the hand. We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and comparison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers; but not to make able, earnest, great- hearted men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
