"If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine." ― Morris West Topic(s): History More From Morris West "Once you accept the existence of God – however you define him, however you explain your relationship to him – then you are caught forever with his presence in the center of all things." "If God be God and man a creature made in image of the divine intelligence, his noblest function is the search for truth." More In History "All truly historical peoples have an idea they must realize, and when they have sufficiently exploited it at home, they export it, in a certain way, by war; they make it tour the world."― Victor Cousin "Science grows like a weed every year."― Kary Mullis "The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds, as it amuses the fancy, as it improves the understanding, and as it strengthens virtue."― David Hume
