"Nurture an appetite for being puzzled, for being confused, indeed for being openly stupid, and that - despite what you may think - is very difficult...We all know the cliche' that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

"We've got a generation now who were born with semiequality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attache' cases and our three piece suits. I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle." Erma Louise Bombeck 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote

Historians are trained to seek the original meaning; all of us want to know the present meaning." Daniel J(oseph) Boorstin 3.8000 average rating Rate this Quote

"What makes the difference between a Nation that is truly great and one that is merely rich and powerful? It is the simple things that make the difference.

"There are no limits to either time or distance, except as man himself may make them. I have but to touch the wind to know these things." Hal Borland 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote

Elizabeth Bowen 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner." General Omar Nelson Bradley 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
