Quotes About Results

Man must have results, real results, in his inner and outer life. I do not mean the results which modern people strive after in their attempts at self-development.

There is no logical reason why the second method should be possible at all, but one has found in practice that it does work and meets with reasonable success.

There's almost no food that isn't genetically modified. Genetic modification is the basis of all evolution.

If you don't have health care or you have insurance but the insurance company won't pay for what your doctor says you need, then what's the point of people arguing in Washington? Why don't you give me some help to fix this problem? I will work with anybody if I think we can actually produce results for people.
