    This a good one! Americans got to really practice this quote:

    Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
    ~Confucius

    Especially the young college students and some professors these days.

    The Maryland anthem started: "The despot's heel is on thy shore". The 'despot' was Lincoln.

    Neil deGrasse Tyson:

    The good thing about science is that it's true whether you believe it ofr not.

    Science literacy empowers you to know when someone else is full of shit.

    Good quote. But, simplistic. All science is theory and subject to refinement. Much of what I was taught in school was incorrect. But, the basic mechanics of physics still work for nearly all practical purposes. Even the simple machines: inclined plane, lever, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw, still work after millennia. And, no question, scientific knowledge trumps non-scientific knowledge by light years.

    Simplistic, yes, but a lot of his publications were for the general public.
    Perhaps, what may be more important than science at any one time in history, is the scientific method. https://study.com/academy/answer/wha...ic-method.html

    Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr (father of the Supreme Court Justice)
    Don't be 'consistent', but be simply true.

    Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.

    The mind of a bigot to the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour on it, the more it contracts.
