“Experience was what Galileo considered key to formulating accurate theories, since experience, which is literally defined as exposure to and observation of facts and events, gives one a tangible, real-life occurrence that substantiates a statement, rather than raw logic, which leads one to consider what’s plausible based on probability and deduction but not necessarily what’s true. Raw logic, Galileo knew, could lead one to discover a possibility, but not an actuality. Experience exposes the facts of the REAL WORLD, not what logic and reasoning, or the mind alone can create. Aristotle did not want to rely on abstractions and intangibilities, but in reality, he did, as he used sole logic.”

“A son. An heir. Fragile — born too soon, and yet deeply desired.” The thought had barely formed when the father took the newborn into his arms and fell in love at first sight. Afraid to harm him, yet unable to resist, he gently kissed the baby’s cheek. “He is not Alexander, as I once imagined,” he realized suddenly. “He is Peter.

“From the green valleys of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon , were a village of men and women set their faces against the horror and showed that, armed with the Spirit, the noblest hearts are always capable of overcoming and that there shadows of evil will finally be dispelled until light invades everything once more — for a new generation to believe it can change the world, or at least try.”

“Some journeys begin with loss… but lead to courage, faith, and hope.” — The Journey West: Leaving Dixfield”

“I continued, regardless: "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another, with no loss of enthusiasm." "What does that mean?" "It takes real strength and ability to experience repeated failure and keep moving toward your goal, even when nothing appears to be coming of it, without losing enthusiasm. It signifies a desire for self-improvement; a need to constantly learn from your mistakes...”
