siddha 825 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts. —Harvard economist Henry Rosovsky It does not matter how frequently something succeeds if failure is too costly to bear. —Nicholas Nassim Taleb A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions — as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all. —Nietzsche Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned. —Avicenna (980–1037 AD) What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so. —Mark Twain You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts. —Daniel Moyniham The trouble with this world is that the ignorant are certain, and the intelligent are full of doubt. —George Bernard Shaw Objectivity must be operationally defined as fair treatment of data, not absence of preference. —Stephen Jay Gould Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first. —Mark Twain Love consists of overestimating the differences between one woman and another. —George Bernard Shaw The absence of alternatives clarifies your mind marvellously. —Kissinger The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. —Nietzsche Emotions are the lubricants of reason. —Nicholas Nassim Taleb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
