Topic: A Self Evident Truth. Our discussion continues.



Nicolas Copernicus:  "At rest, however, in the middle of everything is the sun."

Arthur C. Clarke:  "Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases: 1- It's completely impossible. 2- It's possible, but it's not worth doing. 3- I said it was a good idea all along."

Nicolas Copernicus:  "Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe."

Phil:  "I'm not a gynecologist, but I would look into that."

Will Rogers:  "It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so."

Phil:  "Intelligent life on Earth?  I don't know!"

Albert Einstein:  "If we knew what we were doing it wouldn't be called research, would it?"

Yogi Berra:  "You can observe a lot just by watching."

Dr. Carl Sagan: “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”

Mark Twain: “It is wiser to find out than to suppose”

Arthur C Clarke:  "Perhaps, as some wit remarked, the best proof that there is Intelligent Life in Outer Space is the fact it hasn't come here. Well, it can't hide forever - one day we will overhear it."

Phil:  "Honesty?  Tell me a secret you don't want me to know.  That's honesty!"

George Bernard Shaw:  "Ptolemy created a universe that lasted a thousand years. Copernicus created a universe that lasted four hundred years. Einstein has created a universe and I can't tell you how long it will last."

Phil:  "Free enterprise is genetically the closest to our hunter-gatherer roots than any other social experiment in cooperative human living. Build a better arrowhead, the world will beat a path to your cave.  It will get a little more complicated once civilization of our species begins.

Sigmund Freud:  "Zivilisation ist Verdrängung.  Gott verdammt es!"

Phil:  "Alright, alright!  Calm down!  Sex is important, Einstein, but you should have gone camping....alone....for several months.... without any groceries.... and cigars....to give it some perspective."

Ben Franklin:  "Hunger is the best pickle."
