Success (103)
When there is no peril in the fight, there is no glory in the triumph. - Pierre Cornuelle
If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut. Albert Einstein
Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory. - General George Patton Jr
Success demands a high level of logistical and organizational competence.- General George S. Patton, Jr
The test of success is not what you do when your on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.- General George S. Patton, Jr
It is the unconquerable nature of man and not the nature of the weapon he uses that ensures victory. - General George Patton Jr
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure. Mark Twain
The success of Darwinism was accompanied by a decline in scientific integrity. This is already evident in the reckless statements of Haeckel and in the shifty, devious and histrionic argumentation of T. H. Huxley ... To establish the continuity required by the theory, historical arguments are invoked even though historical evidence is lacking. Thus are engendered those fragile towers of hypotheses based on hypotheses, where fact and fiction intermingle in an inextricable confusion. (Thompson, W. R., Canadian entomologist, (1956), Introduction to The Origin of Species, (Reprint of the first edition, Centennial Edition), Charles Darwin, Everyman Library, no. 811, Dent, E.P. Dutton and Co., New York, 1956)
The heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of his hands. (Psalms 19:1, (NIV Translation))
Two shafts of criticism struck Darwin more directly than the outside world was allowed to know. They touched his particular theory that evolution took place by natural selection, a process analogous to the artificial selection which plant and animal breeders were practicing with such great success at that time. The first criticism asserted that Darwin's thesis was not true; the second, that it was not new. Such criticisms are raised against all revolutionary hypotheses, but both of these were serious and well informed. (Darlington, Cyril D. [late Professor of Botany, Oxford University], The Origin of Darwinism, Scientific American, Vol. 201, May 1959, p.60)
