In the short term, some deadly virus might be more important, but in the long run there is hardly anything more important than asteroids.

Rusty Schweickart

The venom clamours of a jealous woman poison more deadly than a mad dog's tooth.

William Shakespeare

Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run.

Mark Twain

Retaliation is counter-poison and poison breeds more poison. The nectar of Love alone can destroy the poison of hate.

Mahatma Gandhi

And I believe that the Binomial Theorem and a Bach Fugue are, in the long run, more important than all the battles of history.

James Hilton

I think many thinkers and activists, even in the Islamist parties like the Muslim Brotherhood, and the people who left the Muslim Brotherhood to follow Abou el-Fatouh, these people do have an understanding that the relationship between religion and the state must be re-thought and re-assessed. They're not going to use the concept of secularism in any straightforward way, because the concept of secularism is still far too loaded in that part of the world.

Tariq Ramadan

The European wars of religion were more deadly than the First World War, proportionally speaking, and in the range of the Second World War in Europe. The Inquisition, the persecution of heretics and infidels and witches, they racked up pretty high death tolls.

Steven Pinker

Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

Mark Twain

A belief in the purposeful complexity of Fate is always more comforting than random, straightforward facts. This may be why Mother preferred to believe in Atlantis and UFOs rather than in virtually everything else.

Bradley Denton

The most deadly poison of our time is indifference.

Maximilian Kolbe

We come to the nations pretending to escape persecution, we the most deadly persecutors in all the wretched annals of man.

Samuel Roth

The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

James, son of Zebedee

We don't all have to believe in the same feminism. Feminism can be pluralistic so long as we respect the different feminisms we carry with us, so long as we give enough of a damn to try to minimize the fractures among us. Feminism will better succeed with collective effort, but feminist success can also rise out of personal conduct.

Roxane Gay

If Christians continue to rely on emotion and ignore evidence, they will continue to lose their children to secularism. As Ravi Zacharias points out, a tepid Christianity cannot withstand a rabid secularism. And make no mistake-secularism is rabid. The world isn't neutral out there. Today's culture is becoming increasingly anti-Christian.

Frank Turek

For me, my secularism is, India first. I say, the philosophy of my party is 'Justice to all. Appeasement to none.' This is our secularism.

Narendra Modi

I'm a hopeless romantic and I believe that you can find love in many different places and be very conflicted. I've discovered as I've grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you're a kid. It isn't just a straightforward fairytale.
