It's A Quote

'Being a science writer is harder than being a sports writer, because sports writers don't have to deal with people who think basketball doesn't even exist.' - Carl Zimmer, science writer

“There is no expedient to which men will not resort in order to avoid the necessary labor of thinking.” (Sir Joshua Reynolds) 

[Disagreeable]

I should like to say two things. One intellectual and one moral. The intellectual thing I should want to say to them is this: "When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only: What are the facts, and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted, either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed; but look only and solely at what are the facts." That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say. The moral thing I should wish to say to them is very simple; I should say: "Love is wise – Hatred is foolish." In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other. We have to learn to put up with the fact, that some people say things we don't like. We can only live together in that way. But if we are to live together, and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital, to the continuation of human life on this planet.

'Someone asked me why I endorsed the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the Ukranian people and did not for the anti-maskers. Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is an infantile feet-stomping against an inconvenience.' - Dee Snider

"Beware the wrath of a patient man!" (John Dryden) 

Lol, my Da phrased that one as, ‘Never trust a calm dog.’

Reminds me of one I read in MAD MAGAZINE when I was in grade school: "Barking dogs bever bite──except when they stop barking."
