“The same fire that hardens the egg will melt the butter; and much depends on the personality type, whether you customarily rise to a challenge or whether you sink. For as long as I can remember, I have been a sinker.

“it is better to take experience, to suffer, to love, and to remember than to walk unscathed between the fires.

“The House, being strong, should be generous ... but the constituents have a right to more than generosity.... The law gives me my seat. In the name of the law I ask for it. I regret that my personality overshadows the principles involved in this great struggle; but I would ask those who have touched my life, not knowing it, who have found for me vices which I do not remember in the memory of my life, I would ask them whether all can afford to cast the first stone ... then that, as best judges, they will vacate their own seats, having deprived my constituents of their right here to mine.” GivingShouldFirstsRememberLawAsksFoundHouseNamesStrongMemoriesPrinciplesStruggleKnowingAtheismMinesJudgingRegretPersonalityInvolvedStonesGive MeCastsVicesPositive AtheismGenerosityGenerousSeatsTouchedNot KnowingDeprivedI RegretConstituents Author:Charles Bradlaugh

“Education is a technology that tries to make up for what the human mind is innately bad at. Children don't have to go to school to learn how to walk, talk, recognize objects, or remember the personalities of their friends, even though these tasks are much harder than reading, adding, or remembering dates in history. They do have to go to school to learn written language, arithmetic, and science, because those bodies of knowledge and skill were invented too recently for any species-wide knack for them to have evolved.” TryingMindHumansChildrenBodySchoolRememberReadingLanguageWalksTechnologyWrittenObjectsPersonalitySkillsTasksHarderSpeciesWideHuman MindArithmeticKnackWritten Language Author:Steven Pinker
