Inspirational quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the power of commitment and boldnessCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would have never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Tennis can be a very frustrating sport. There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it. You have to put in the hours because there is always something you can improve.

"If you believe that the most basic human liberties ought to be contingent on taking a product from a giant pharmaceutical company then you are not liberal or left wing. You’re not a conservative or patriotic. There is only one word to describe you and that is Fascist." Dave Smith

Carl Sagan quote about being bamboozled and powerCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." Carl Sagan

Quote about the scientific method and guesswork by Dr. Michio KakuCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"In Science, we always say that you make observations you have a theory you make more observations and it’s a very very tedious process… WRONG! Nobody that I know of in my field, uses the so-called Scientific Method. In our field, it’s by the seat of your pants, it’s leaps of logic, it’s GUESSWORK." Dr. Michio Kaku

Quote about the largest mismatch between theory and experiment in science by Michio KakuCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Usually in science, if we're off by a factor of 2 or a factor of 10, we call that horrible. We say, something's wrong with the theory. We're off by a factor of 10! However, in cosmology, we're off by a factor of 10 to the 120th. That is one with 100 and 20 zeroes after it. This is the largest mismatch between theory and experiment in the history of science." Michio Kaku

Quote by Pope Pius XII on science, creation, and the existence of GodCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"In fact, it seems that present-day science, with one sweeping step back across millions of centuries, has succeeded in bearing witness to that primordial 'Fiat lux' Let there be light uttered at the moment when, along with matter, there burst forth from nothing a sea of light and radiation, while the particles of the chemical elements split and formed into millions of galaxies ... Hence, creation took place in time, therefore, there is a Creator, God exists. Although it is neither explicit nor complete, this is the reply we were awaiting from science, and which the present human generation is awaiting from it." Papst Pius XII

Quote by Ludwig von Mises on the state's use of coercion to enforce lawsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The state subjugates, imprisons, and kills. People tend to forget this because law-abiding citizens submit to the authority of the government without complaint in order to avoid punishment. But lawyers are more realistic and call a law that cannot be enforced by coercion an imperfect law. The authority of man-made laws rests entirely on the weapons of the police, who enforce obedience to their regulations" Ludwig von Mises

Quote by Roland Baader about how every decline in the value of money is caused by the state.Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

""...Every decline in the value of money is caused and organized by the state. Paper money and the central bank monopoly are the great super-tricks used to camouflage the violent nature of the state and the predatory basic pattern of ALL politics. Very few citizens are truly aware of the unimaginable extent to which they have been exploited for generations by the combination of progressive income tax and inflation, robbing them of the fruits of their labor.""

"I have made the decision to skip the Australian Open next year after X years because I have reached a point in my career where fame is not everything. I cannot identify with the Australian government's Covid measures, the possible quarantine requirement, and the Covid camps also put me off. I can honestly say that I would not travel to Australia with peace of mind, either for the singles qualifiers or for my favorite doubles team." Tímea Babos

Freedom quote by Joost A.M. Meerloo highlighting the balance of power and responsibility in democracyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Freedom can never be completely safeguarded by rules and laws. It is as much dependent on the courage, integrity, and responsibility of each of us as it is on these qualities in those who govern. Every trait in us and our leaders which points to passive submission to mere power betrays democratic freedom. In our American system of democratic government, three different powerful branches serve to check each other, the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. Yet when there is no will to prevent encroachment of the power of one by any of the others, this system of checks, too, can degenerate." Joost A.M. Meerloo

Quote by Joost A.M. Meerloo about the weapon of psychological shock used by totalitariansCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"There is another important weapon the totalitarians use in their campaign to frighten the world into submission. This is the weapon of psychological shock. Hitler kept his enemies in a state of constant confusion and diplomatic upheaval. They never knew what this unpredictable madman was going to do next. Hitler was never logical, because he knew that that was what he was expected to be. Logic can be met with logic, while illogic cannot—it confuses those who think straight. The Big Lie and monotonously repeated nonsense have more emotional appeal in a cold war than logic and reason. While the enemy is still searching for a reasonable counter-argument to the first lie, the totalitarians can assault him with another." Joost A.M. Meerloo

Quote by Henry See about the impact of choosing lies on thinking and the threat of truthCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"When people choose to believe a lie, their thinking becomes distorted and twisted because they have to distort the facts to fit their beliefs. Their thinking is blocked. And part of them knows that they have chosen a lie, creating deep tension within them as they try to hide from themselves that they have chosen the lie. The truth then becomes a terrible threat to the false personality built on the lie, and the anger and force with which they attack is proportional to their fear of self-exposure." Henry See

Quote by Dwight D. Eisenhower about the dangers of scientific domination and technocratic elite in societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system–ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society." Dwight D. Eisenhower
