Conservatives, who have presumed that the key to preventing AIDS is abstinence-only education, and liberals, who have focused on distribution of condoms, should both note that the intervention that has tested most cost-effective in Africa is neither... Secular bleeding hearts and religious bleeding hearts will have to forge a common cause. Nicholas D. Kristof
There is only one way: Go within. Search for the cause, find the impetus that bids you write. Put it to this test: Does it stretch out its roots in the deepest place of your heart? Can you avow that you would die if you were forbidden to write? Above all, in the most silent hour of your night, ask yourself this: Must I write? Dig deep into yourself for a true answer. And if it should ring its assent, if you can confidently meet this serious question with a simple, “I must,” then build your... Rainer Maria Rilke
Yet ruled he not long, so great had been his suffering, and so bitter the fire of his testing, for after the space of three years he died. And he who came after him ruled evilly. Oscar Wilde
In all the modern talk about energy, efficiency, social service and the rest of it, what meaning is there except "Get money, get it legally, and get a lot of it"? Money has become the grand test of virtue. George Orwell
As you can see, I have memorized this utterly useless piece of information long enough to pass a test question. I now intend to forget it forever. You’ve taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system. Congratulations. Bill Watterson
How immensely the world is simplified when tested for its worthiness of destruction. This is the great bond embracing and unifying all that exists. Walter Benjamin
Lucius Annaeus Seneca quote: "Gold tests with fire, woman with gold, man with woman"
Gold tests with fire, woman with gold, man with woman Lucius Annaeus Seneca
"Teachers matter. So instead of bashing them, or defending the status quo, let’s offer schools a deal. Give them the resources to keep good teachers on the job, and reward the best ones. In return, grant schools flexibility: To teach with creativity and passion; to stop teaching to the test; and to replace teachers who just aren’t helping kids learn. Barack Obama
Madeleine L'Engle quote: "Almost all the joyful things of life are outside the measure..."
Almost all the joyful things of life are outside the measure of IQ tests. Madeleine L'Engle
Lance Armstrong quote: "Hard work, sacrifice and focus will never show up in tests."
Hard work, sacrifice and focus will never show up in tests. Lance Armstrong
Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit. Aristotle
The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how... Carl Sagan
David Mamet quote: "We're all put to the test... but it never comes in the form or..."
We're all put to the test... but it never comes in the form or at the point we would prefer, does it? David Mamet
A friend is a possession we earn, not a gift. ....The Lord has declared that those who serve him and keep his commandments are called his servants. After they have been tested and tried and are found faithful and true in all things, they are called no longer servants, but friends. His friends are the ones he will take into his kingdom and with whom he will associate in an eternal inheritance. Marvin J. Ashton
