No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.~ Albert Einstein For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them.~ Albert Einstein Let experience, the least fallible guide of human opinions, be appealed to for an answer to these inquiries.~ Alexander Hamilton Experience is the oracle of truth; and where its responses are unequivocal, they ought to be conclusive and sacred.~ James Madison The issue of this campaign -- it IS that word socialism. Some people like it. Younger people like it. Those of us like me, who grew up in a cold war and saw some aspects of it while visiting places like Vietnam, like I have, and seeing countries like Cuba, being there. I’m seeing what socialism’s like. I don’t like it. OK? It’s not only not free. It doesn’t freakin’ work!~ Chris Matthews Honesty demands that we boldly pursue ideas tested by time, defended by reason, validated by experience, and confirmed by revelation. We will only find truth when we place our confidence in it and not in ourselves. We will only learn when we love truth enough to measure all ideas with a measuring rod outside of those things being measured and are willing to discard those ideas we find to be "intolerable," inferior, and useless.~ Everett Piper Just as we suffer from excess in all things, so we suffer from excess in literature; thus we learn our lessons, not for life, but for the lecture room.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca Of course, however, the living voice and the intimacy of a common life will help you more than the written word. You must go to the scene of action, first, because men put more faith in their eyes than in their ears, and second, because the way is long if one follows precepts, but short and helpful, if one follows patterns.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca The knowledge of the world is only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.~ Philip Dormer Stanhope Men, to act with vigour and effect, must have time to mature measures, and judgment and experience, as to the best method of applying them. They must not be hurried on to their conclusions by the passions, or the fears of the multitude. They must deliberate, as well as resolve.~ Joseph Story Let experience solve it. To listen to mere speculation in such a case were criminal.~ George Washington Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
