"Quotes"

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: The fear of failure ! - "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho

Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point in the universe. This idea is not novel. We find it in the delightful myth of Antheus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among the subtle speculations of one of your splendid mathematicians. Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic? If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic - and this we know it is, for certain - then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature." - Nikola Tesla

Keep a open mind - But not so open that your brain falls out

"Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt" - Lao Tzu

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mohandas Gandhi
