“In the beginning You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them and they will be discarded. But You remain the same, and your years will never end.” — Psalm 102:25-27
Was That a Two-Minute Egg?
Recognized as one of the most brilliant and influential scientists of all time, Sir Isaac Newton is best known for his laws of gravitation. But that does not mean he was immune from the occasional senior moment. One day, his maid happened upon him staring, dumfounded, at a pot of water boiling on the stove. In the pot was his watch. In his hand was an egg.
Quotes attributed to Lord Chesterfield (a British statesman and man of letters, 1694 – 1773)
“An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions.”
“I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.”
“Firmness of purpose is one of the most necessary sinews of character, and one of the best instruments of success. Without it, genius wastes its efforts in a maze of inconsistencies.”
“The scholar, without good breeding, is a pedant; the philosopher, a cynic; the soldier, a brute; and every man disagreeable.”
