operate at the interface between science and society...- Dean Gordon

the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race.

watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of

science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or

metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it

elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This

is the engineer's high privilege.- Herbert Hoover

I don't care what it is, when it has an LCD screen, it makes it

better. - Kevin Rose

It is curious—curious that physical courage should be so common in the

world, and moral courage so rare.- Mark Twain

Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their

reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those

who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in

the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out,

avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their

advocates, and bear the consequences. —Susan B. Anthony

Happiness Quotes

The happiest people don't worry too much about whether life is fair or

not, they just get on with it. - Andrew Matthews

For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don't enjoy

getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a

meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you're not

going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness

on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a

flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn't going

to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends

on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we

are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.- Andy Rooney

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all

different and yet the same.- Anne Frank

Think of all the beauty thats still left in and around you and be

happy! - Anne Frank

Kindness Quotes

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a

loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the

angels give.- George MacDonald

Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to

have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject

and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul

generated by love. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

All you have shall some day be given;

Therefore give now, that the season of giving

may be yours and not your inheritors.- Kahlil Gibran

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone

in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and

the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler

saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did

so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good

fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a

lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the

wise woman.

"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but

I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more

precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me

the stone." - The Wise Woman's Stone

FranklinAnatomy (n): something everyone has, but which looks better on

Everyday we're told we live in the greatest country on earth and it's

always stated as an un deniable fact: Leos are born between July 23

and August 22, fitted queen-size sheets measure 60x80 inches, and

America is the greatest country on earth. Having grown up with this in

our ears, it's startling to realize that other countries have

nationalistic slogans too, none of which are 'We're number two! - Dave

Sedari
