America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.

Alexander Graham Bell

My experience is that inventors come in all sizes, all nationalities, all ages. The only thing I'm sure of is that inventors are always stubborn.

Robert Dilts

The greatest inventors are unknown to us. Someone invented the wheel - but who?

Isaac Asimov

It must be confessed that the inventors of the mechanical arts have been much more useful to men than the inventors of syllogisms.

Voltaire

All painting is an accident. But it's also not an accident, because one must select what part of the accident one chooses to preserve.

Francis Bacon

The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is self-mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest precept is continual awareness. The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

Who is Barack Obama? Contrary to the rumors you have heard, I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father Jor-El to save the Planet Earth. Many of you know that I got my name, Barack, from my father. What you may not know is Barack is actually Swahili for 'That One.' And I got my middle name from somebody who obviously didn't think I'd ever run for president. If I had to name my greatest strength, I guess it would be my humility. Greatest weakness, it's possible that I'm a little too awesome.

Barack Obama

Last name 'Ever', first name 'Greatest'

Drake

I believe that there never was a creator of a philosophical system who did not confess at the end of his life that he had wasted his time. It must be admitted that the inventors of the mechanical arts have been much more useful to men that the inventors of syllogisms. He who imagined a ship towers considerably above him who imagined innate ideas.

Voltaire

The creation of a virtual image is a form of accident. This explains why virtual reality is a cosmic accident. It's the accident of the real.

Paul Virilio

It was not by accident that the greatest thinkers of all ages were deeply religious souls.

Max Planck

The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth and have it found out by accident.

Charles Lamb

The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.

Charles Lamb

You look at the U.S. budget deficit, and you cannot help but feel that this is a serious accident waiting to happen. And not just a serious U.S. accident, but a serious global accident.
