• So little pains do the vulgar take in the investigation of truth, accepting readily the first story that comes to hand.

  Thucydides, Book I of his history of the Peloponnesian War
  
  

• In the school of political projectors I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing in my judgement wholly out of their senses, which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favourites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities and eminent services; of instructing princes to know their true interest by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employments persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimæras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive, and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.

  Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift
  
  

• Why are we as a people worth saving? We still commit murder because of greed, spite, and jealousy, and we still visit all of our sins upon our children. We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we've done, like we did with the Cylons. We decided to play God, create life. When that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn't our fault, not really. You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.

  Battlestar Galactica
  
  

• "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it."

  Matt. 7:13–14,
  New Revised Standard Version Bible
  
  

• "And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to the span of your life?"

  Matt. 6:27,
  New Revised Standard Version Bible
