Our own existence once presented the greatest of all mysteries, but ... it is a mystery no longer because it is solved. Darwin and Wallace solved it ... I was surprised that so many people seemed not only unaware of the elegant and beautiful solution to this deepest of problems but, incredibly, in many cases actually unaware that there was a problem in the first place!

Richard Dawkins

Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance. To me, it always seemed that the solution had to be wisdom. You did not refuse to look at danger, rather you learned how to handle it safely.

Isaac Asimov

In some cultures, when you give someone a gift, it's expected that they will pass it on. This seems like a peculiar practice in the West, but in many other societies, a gift has a spirit. If you try to possess the gift, you remove its spirit as a gift.

Kabir Sehgal

Just providing information about how bad things are, or the statistics and data on incarceration by themselves, does lead to more depression and resignation and is not empowering. The information has to be presented in a way that's linked to the piece about encouraging students to think critically and creatively about how they might respond to injustice, and how young people have responded to injustice in the past.

Michelle Alexander

It's the oldest trick in Washington - when presented with a policy solution you don't like, characterize it as the bogeyman.

Mark Meadows

I am very hopeful that there is a solution to the Israeli/Palestinian injustice.

Mairead Corrigan

Just as the lunar landings inspired many young people to consider careers in space and related fields, the solution of the challenging instrumentation problems presented in space science can inspire young people to push beyond the current state of the art.

Nancy Roman

Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance.

Isaac Asimov

A healthy diet is a solution to many of our health-care problems. It's the most important solution.

John Mackey

Never stand idly while people commit what you know to be an injustice! Injustice only leads to more injustice!

Robert Kiyosaki

Critique, feedback, reaction to one's work or the way they have presented it, regardless of intention, is a gift.

Mark Brand

The deeper inner teachings are presented to very few because few would understand them. The exoteric teachings are presented to many.

Frederick Lenz

From the point of view of the Christian faith, man comes in the profoundest sense to himself not through what he does but through what he accepts. He must wait for the gift of love, and love can only be received as a gift... One must wait for it, let it be given to one. And one cannot become wholly man in any other way than by being loved, by letting oneself be loved... If he declines to let himself be presented with the gift, then he destroys himself.

Pope Benedict XVI

A favorite means of escaping the solution to any problem is to declare it too complex for solution. This absolves us from attempting solution. ... Any problem is too complex to solve when we do not wish to accept the conditions of solution. Solution is possible where acceptance is ready.
