Woodrow Wilson

The only proper, moral purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence - to protect his right to his own life, to his own liberty, to his own property and to the pursuit of his own happiness. Without property rights, no other rights are possible.
Ayn Rand

The constant habit of perusing devout books is so indispensable, that it has been termed the oil of the lamp of prayer.

Hannah More

In your letter you apply the word imponderable to a molecule. Don't do that again. It may also be worth knowing that the aether cannot be molecular.

James Clerk Maxwell
Image
