"Just because the solutions of problems are not visible at any particular time does not mean that those problems will never be alleviated -- or confined to tolerable dimensions. History has a way of changing the very terms in which problems operate and of leaving them, in the end, unsolved, to be sure, yet strangely deflated of their original meaning and importance." M. I. Abramowitz 3.7727 average rating

Henry Brooks Adams 4.3333 average rating  
"If I had to choose between putting a saloon or a liberal church on a corner, I'd choose the saloon every time. People who drink up the pay check in the saloon are less likely to become Pharisees, thinking that they don't need the Great Physician, than those who weekly swill the soporific doctrine of man's goodness." Jay Edward Adams 3.3000 average rating

Or you can put well-researched facts into sophisticated computer models, more commonly referred to as "a complete waste of time." Scott Adams 4.4286 average rating
