Quotes From The Great

Hey everyone,

This thread is dedicated to great people of our past, present, and future.
Basically I want everyone to post a quote that they believe is of significance in this day and age and that people should hear, or simply even just quotes that have had a profound effect on you and made you think.

I'll get this started.

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." - Buddha

Very topical to ATS.

"Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations".

~Aldous Huxley
