Alfred North Whitehead
  • Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language.

  • If a dog jumps into your lap, it is because he is fond of you but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.

  • Religion is the last refuge of human savagery.

  • It is the business of the future to be dangerous and it is among the merits of science that it equips the future for its duties.

  • No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.
