For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should
cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to
the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's
assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The
prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes.

hen people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical they were wrong. But
if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is wronger
than both of them put together.

For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most
certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study
mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to
give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.
