“In the past, the great effervescences of history -- those major episodes of openness and progress -- petered out because of what has been called Cardwell's Law, after the technology historian Donald S. Cardwell. Innovation always faces resistance from groups that think they stand to lose from it, be they old political or religious elites, businesses with old technologies, workers with outmoded skills, nostalgic romantics, or old folks who feel anxious because people just don't do things the way they used to.”
― Johan Norberg, Open: The Story of Human Progress

“Time is not money, but a sacred free gift. Priceless.”
― Matthew Edward Hall, San Mateo: Proof of The Divine

“To people accustomed to reason about the forms in which their religious feeling has incorporated itself, it is difficult to enter into that simple, untaught state of mind in which the form and the feeling have never been severed by an act of reflection,,,but to him this would have been an effort of independent thought such as he had never known;”
― George Eliot, Silas Marner

“In my time, love often followed trends, yet greater love grows through it all.”
