Todays Thought

It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases. 

-Johan Christoph Friedrich von Schiller, poet and dramatist (10 Nov 1759-1805)

Todays Thought

In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. 

-Carl Sagan, astronomer and writer (9 Nov 1934-1996)
