Israelmore Ayivor
“Someone may have all the technical knowledge, scientific intellect and business know-how but when he/she decides to choose laziness, excuses, procrastination, complaining and other bad attitudes, his/her relevance is meaningless.”
Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

Alfred Jules Ayer
“It is now generally admitted, at any rate by philosophers, that the existence of a being having the attributes which define the god of any non-animistic religion cannot be demonstratively proved... [A]ll utterances about the nature of God are nonsensical.”
Alfred Jules Ayer, Language, Truth and Logic
