3 December 2020 Polykarp Kusch Science shows us truth and beauty and fills each day with a fresh wonder of the exquisite order which governs our world.

3 December 2020 Jenny Eclair I think I might actually die of showing off. It’ll be on my headstone – ‘Cause of Death: Showing Off.’
3 December 2020 David Ogilvy I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form, but as a medium of information.
3 December 2020 Ibrahim Babangida At the same, we need to remain sensitive to the reality that we are still an African society in which the majority of the people and communities live under severe deprivations and afflictions that are no fault of theirs.
3 December 2020 Adam Savage That’s the show. it’s like 5 minutes of science and then 10 minutes of me hurting myself.
3 December 2020 Jerry Saltz Yes, 85 percent of the art you see isn’t any good. But everyone has a different opinion about which 85 percent is bad. That in turn creates fantastically unstable interplay and argument.
3 December 2020 Harry Browne For most of our history, Americans enjoyed both liberty and security from foreign threats.

3 December 2020 Brandy Norwood This is truly a blessing. Breyon Prescott, Peter Edge and Tom Corson believe in me and have introduced me to a home that also believes and knows exactly what to do with the type of music I’m doing.
3 December 2020 Derek Bok I won’t say there aren’t any Harvard graduates who have never asserted a superior attitude. But they have done so to our great embarrassment and in no way represent the Harvard I know.
3 December 2020 Giada De Laurentiis I’m into very colorful food. Obviously lots of flavor, but I think we eat with our eyes first, so it has to look great. The presentation has to be great.
3 December 2020 William Godwin My thoughts will be taken up with the future or the past, with what is to come or what has been. Of the present there is necessarily no image.
