Living is a pretty grim joke, but a joke just the same.
L. Ron Hubbard
One of the reasons they [the Japanese] have bad eyesight is probably these microscopic characters [furigana] which have many lines and strokes to them.& We wonder why they went mad and bombed Pearl Harbor when they knew they couldn't win. That [the Japanese language] would be a reason.

The entire function of man is to survive. The outermost limit of endeavour is creative work. Anything less is too close to simple survival until death happens along. So I am engaged in striving to maintain equilibrium sufficient to at least realize survival in a way to astound the gods.
L. Ron Hubbard
You make New Year's resolutions. And you make them into the teeth of old resolutions which were different. Then you don't keep your new resolutions and you tell yourself you are weak-willed. You aren't weak-willed, you are simply obeying yourself as of yesterday.
L. Ron Hubbard
Any information is valuable to the degree that you can use it.

L. Ron Hubbard
Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment.
L. Ron Hubbard
Here on Earth there was undoubtedly a Christ. One of the reasons he swept in so suddenly and he would go forward so hard is, he had a good assist in back of him in terms of an implant.
L. Ron Hubbard
A suppressing person isn't critical. A suppressing person is a person who denies the rights of others.
L. Ron Hubbard
Communication is the universal solvent.
L. Ron Hubbard
Benzedrine often helps a case run.
L. Ron Hubbard
A philosophy can only be a route to knowledge. It cannot be knowledge crammed down one's throat. If one has a route, he can then find what is true for him. And that is Scientology.
L. Ron Hubbard
Affection can no more spoil a child than the sun could be put out by a bucket of gasoline.
L. Ron Hubbard
Darwin found out that when you took horses up to the high country in the Middle East, they would then grow long hair after a season or two. But when you took them - these long-haired horses - back into the low, hot country, they wouldn't get rid of the long hair, just in case, for about four generations.
L. Ron Hubbard
If things were a little better known and understood, we would all lead happier lives.
L. Ron Hubbard
