Quote on complacency and life by Benjamin E. MaysCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities." Benjamin E. Mays
Inspirational quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the power of commitment and boldnessCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would have never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Quote by Edward Harold Kass about tuberculosis and medical half-truths in medical researchCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"We had accepted some half truths and had stopped searching for the whole truths. The principal half truths were that medical research had stamped out the great killers of the past – tuberculosis, diphtheria, pneumonia, puerperal sepsis, etc. The data on deaths from tuberculosis show that the mortality rate from this disease has been declining steadily since the middle of the 19th century and was not altered measurably by the discovery of the tubercle bacillus, the advent of the tuberculin test, the appearance of BCG vaccination, the widespread use of mass screening, the intensive anti-tuberculosis campaigns, or the discovery of streptomycin. Similar trends in mortality have been reported with respect to diphtheria, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, pertussis, measles, and many others." Edward Harold Kass
Quote about distortion of worldview in natural science and technology by Prof. Dr. Markus GabrielCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I truly see a massive distortion in our current worldview because natural science and technology, represented these days by virology and computer simulations, have taken the former place of religion. In short, essentially at the end of the day, engaging in unfounded metaphysics – but based on facts. Yes, the natural sciences today belong to the standard realm of ideology, and ideology today means that you can lie with facts…" Prof. Dr. Markus Gabriel
Quote about physics study and secret research by Robert Betts LaughlinCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"You cannot study physics at any university anywhere in the world, because everything taught there is half disproven and half irrelevant. The relevant physics only takes place behind the closed doors of the labs in the arms and industrial sectors. The researchers working there use laws of nature that are unknown to university professors." Robert Betts Laughlin
Quote about the path dependency of cosmology by Bjørn EkebergCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Contrary to the scientific ideal of getting progressively closer to the truth, it looks rather like cosmology, to borrow a term from technology studies, has become path-dependent: overdetermined by the implications of its past inventions." Bjørn Ekeberg
Quote about the cosmological paradigm and mathematical unification by Bjørn EkebergCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The crux of today's cosmological paradigm is that in order to maintain a mathematically unified theory valid for the entire universe, we must accept that 95 percent of our cosmos is furnished by completely unknown elements and forces for which we have no empirical evidence whatsoever. For a scientist to be confident of this picture requires an exceptional faith in the power of mathematical unification." Bjørn Ekeberg
Quote by Bjørn Ekeberg discussing the complexities of the Big Bang paradigmCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"today's multilayered theoretical edifice of the big bang paradigm would turn out to be a confusing mix of fictional beasts invented to uphold the model, along with empirically valid variables mutually reliant on each other to the point of making it impossible to sort science from fiction." Bjørn Ekeberg
Quote on the big bang paradigm and its impact on cosmological theory by Bjørn EkebergCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The big bang paradigm that emerged in the mid-20th century effectively stretches the model’s validity to a kind of infinity […] these limited observations have had an outsized influence on cosmological theory." Bjørn Ekeberg
Quote about discrepancies between observation and theory by Bjørn EkebergCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Each new discrepancy between observation and theory can, of course, in and of itself be considered an exciting promise of more research, a progressive refinement toward the truth. But when they add up, they could also suggest a more confounding problem that is not resolved by tweaking parameters or adding new variables." Bjørn Ekeberg
Quote about scientific facts and discrepancies by Bjørn EkebergCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"This well-known story is usually taken as a self-evident scientific fact, despite the relative lack of empirical evidence—and despite a steady crop of discrepancies arising with observations of the distant universe." Bjørn Ekeberg
Quote by George Seldes on the hypocrisy of free press and political party fundingCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The commercial press, in another of its brazen hypocritical proclamations, points with pride to the fact that it is free because it upholds a free system in which there are two political parties. But there is probably not one member of the A.N.P.A. [American Newspaper Publishers Association] who does not know that the Republican and Democratic parties both feed out of the same bag provided by the monied system, and that the same persons frequently subscribe funds to both major parties … They know this very well, and they also know very well that the press has never given honest news coverage to the formation, platform and campaign of any third party which was independent enough not to feed on the same money. George Seldes, 1943" George Seldes
Quote by Samuel Morse about Jesuits being known for cunning, duplicity, and lack of moral principleCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"And who are these agents? They are for the most part, Jesuits, an ecclesiastical order proverbial through the world for cunning, duplicity, and total want of moral principle; an order so skilled in all the arts of deception that even in Catholic countries, in Italy itself, it became intolerable, and the people required its suppression." Samuel Morse
Quote by Antoine Arnauld warning about Jesuits provoking revolution and ruinCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Do you wish to excite troubles, to provoke revolution, to produce the total ruin of your country? Call in the Jesuits . . . and build magnificent colleges for these hot-headed religionists; suffer those audacious priests, in their dictatorial and dogmatic tone, to decide on affairs of State." Antoine Arnauld
Quote by Mutio Vitelleschi on the importance of collective consultation in decision-makingCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"When Sovereigns require a Jesuit’s opinion on any subject, the Jesuit in question is to report the matter to his Superior, who is to lay it before several Jesuits for discussion. The resolution formed after this consultation is supplied to the Jesuit who has been consulted by the Sovereign." Mutio Vitelleschi
Quote by Edmond Ronayne revealing dark truth of FreemasonryCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The religion of Masonry is a system of absolute despotism, and like that of Rome, demands a blind unquestioning obedience to all its laws, rules, and edicts, whether ‘right or wrong.’ . . . what a singular commentary on the indifference, the subserviency, or the cowardice of society, that an institution, professedly organized by such cunning knaves [the Jesuits], and for such base purposes, and which has been sustained by fraud, falsehood and deception, from the commencement of its career to the present time, should be permitted today to dictate to, if not virtually to rule the nation, and to create such a dread in communities that even some of the ministers of Christian denominations who detest its vile philosophy, and who would like to see it swept from the face of the earth, are absolutely afraid to mention its name, either in the pulpit, the prayer meeting or the Sabbath school, lest its secret vendetta vengeance might, in some concealed manner, be wreaked upon them." Edmond Ronayne
Quote by Adolf Hitler about learning from the Jesuit Order and the hierarchical organization of the Catholic ChurchCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I have learnt most of all from the Jesuit Order . . . So far, there has been nothing more imposing on earth than the hierarchical organization of the Catholic Church. A good part of that organization I have transported direct to my own party . . . The Catholic Church must be held up as an example . . . I will tell you a secret. I am founding an Order . . . In Himmler I see our Ignatius de Loyola!" Adolf Hitler
Quote by Edmond Paris about Vatican and Jesuit responsibility in the start of the two world warsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The public is practically unaware of the overwhelming responsibility carried by the Vatican and its Jesuits in the starting of the two world wars – a situation which may be explained in part by the gigantic finances at the disposition of the Vatican and its Jesuits, giving them power in so many spheres, especially since the last conflict." Edmond Paris
Quote about the Jesuit influence on Hitler by Edmond ParisCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The Fuhrer had come to power, thanks to the votes of the Catholic Zentrum [Center Party overseen by Jesuit Ludwig Kaas], only five years before [1933], but most of the objectives cynically revealed in Mein Kampf were already realized; this book . . . was written by the Jesuit [controlled] Father [Bernhardt] Stempfle and signed by Hitler. For . . . it was the Society of Jesus which perfected the famous Pan-German programme as laid out in this book, and the Fuhrer endorsed it." Edmond Paris
Quote by Zbigniew Brzezinski on the technotronic era and societal surveillanceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities." Zbigniew Brzezinski
