StrandedonEarth Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) "We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended" Source: murky.... Spoiler The quote went viral when tweeted by actor Kevin Sorbo on 7/1/2022, but has been around since at least April 2021, with variations that are likely older. “Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles” is a similar saying. https://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/we_live_in_a_time_where_smart_people/ Edited March 27, 2022 by StrandedonEarth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Some quotes from Plato: Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others. Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand. A dog has the soul of a philosopher. The greatest victory is overcoming your negative thinking. 050203312022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzman Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 France is a place you have to go through to get to Italy. - James May. Braking is the secret to fast driving. - Jim Clark. I may be slightly paraphrasing these two quotes as I cannot track down the originals, but I know I came across them somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake enough going into a corner, and you can get back on the accelerator sooner and come out of the corner faster. It also works in orbital mechanics, slow down to drop into a lower, faster orbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benzman Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not “Eureka!” (I found it!) but “That’s funny …”— Isaac Asimov There is some doubt as to whether Asimov did actually say this, but it is too good a quote to pass up.

Just Jim Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) I was watching the original 1935 "Werewolf of London" the other day when I heard this little gem: "You are foolish, but without fools there would be no wisdom..." I had to pause the movie and write that one down... lol Edited April 14, 2022 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
