“When reputable scientists correct flaws in an experiment that produced fantastic results, then fail to get those results when they repeat the test with flaws corrected, they withdraw their original claims. They do not defend them by arguing irrelevantly that the failed replication was successful in some other way, or by making intemperate attacks on whomever dares to criticize their competence.” WayResultsSuccessfulFailingAtheismTestsScientistClaimsOriginalsDarePositive AtheismArguingExperimentsFantasticRepeatsFlawsCriticizeCompetenceReplication Author:Martin Gardner

“A thing is either alive or it isn’t; there is nothing that is almost alive. There is but the remotest possibility of the origin of life by spontaneous generation, and every likelihood that Arrhenius is right when he dares to claim that life is a cosmic phenomenon, something that drifts between the spheres, like light, and like light transiently descends upon those fit to receive it.” LightLife IsAliveGenerationsPossibilityFitClaimsDarePhenomenonSpheresCosmicSpontaneousLikelihoodOrigin Of Life Author:Donald C.

“It is not realistic or hard-headed to solve problems and take action unguided by ultimate moral aims and values, although we all know some who claim that it is so. In my judgement, it is thoughtless folly. For it ignores the realities of human faith and of passion and of belief; forces ultimately more powerful than all the calculations of our economists or of our generals. Of course to adhere to standards, to idealism, to vision in the face of immediate dangers takes great courage and takes self-confidence. But we also know that only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly.” KnowsHumansSelfProblemRealityActionFacesValuesPassionCoursesBeliefForcePowerfulMoralVisionFailingAchieveDangerJudgmentStandardsUltimateClaimsAimDareSolveSelf ConfidenceFollyRealisticIdealismEconomistCalculations Author:Robert Kennedy

“Yet I'm sure there's something more to be read in a man. People dare not -- they dare not turn the page. The laws of mimicry -- I call them the laws of fear. People are afraid to find themselves alone, and don't find themselves at all. I hate this moral agoraphobia -- it's the worst kind of cowardice. You can't create something without being alone. But who's trying to create here? What seems different in yourself: that's the one rare thing you possess, the one thing which gives each of us his worth; and that's just what we try to suppress. We imitate.
