"I do not know that any writer has supposed that on this earth man will ultimately be able to live without food." "Population, when unchecked, goes on doubling itself every 25 years or increases in a geometrical ratio." More In Wisdom "If God had sufficient wisdom and power to construct such a beautiful world as this, then we must admit that his wisdom and power are immeasurably greater than that of man, and hence he is qualified to reign as king."― Orson Pratt "This ceremony and the intellectual aura associated with the Nobel Prizes have grown from the wisdom of a practical chemist who wrote a remarkable will."― Stanford Moore "A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be."― Rosalynn Carter
