I have noticed that people tend to stop maturing when they start self-medicating. Everyone has very tough seasons of life, but by persevering through them we have an opportunity to mature and grow as people. Those who self-medicate, often thwart maturity as they escape the tough seasons of life rather than face them. ~Mark Driscoll

But even in this concertinaed cosmic perspective, our century is very, very special; the first when humans can change themselves and their home planet. ~Martin Rees

After I left the White House, I kept a foothold in the business of American politics as a talk-show host, analyst, commentator, speechmaker, and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner, but I was still a partisan, a Democrat, a blue-stater through and through. ~Dee Dee Myers

Ideas without execution are hallucinations. ~Thomas A. Edison
#quotes #thomas-a-edison #ideas #hallucinations

Authors are far closer to the truths enfolded in mystery than ordinary people, because of that very audacity of imagination which irritates their plodding critics. As only those who dare to make mistakes succeed greatly, only those who shake free the wings of their imagination brush, once in a way, the secrets of the great pale world. If such writers go wrong, it is not for the mere brains to tell them so ~Gertrude Atherton

He that will have his son have respect for him and his orders, must himself have a great reverence for his son. ~John Locke
