    If only it were God’s will that printed and written materials have as much influence on the people as the princes and their censors fear! Considering the countless good books we have, the world would have changed for the better a long time ago.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.
    Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)

    As a rule we develop a borrowed European idea forward, and ... Europe develops a borrowed American idea backwards.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Such is the labor which the American Congress exists to protect,—honest, manly toil,—honest as the day is long,—that makes his bread taste sweet, and keeps society sweet,—which all men respect and have consecrated; one of the sacred band, doing the needful but irksome drudgery.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
