Learning is its own exceeding great reward.

Reflection makes men cowards.

I've always associated the moment of writing with a moment of lift, of joy, of unexpected reward.

The voters reward good performance. So, I'm going to go out and focus, if I become the governor, to do the very best job I can as governor. The rest of it will take care of itself.

Most women are indulgent of themselves. This is a mistake. It should be only the reward of old age.

I don't fool with a lot of things that I can't have fun with. There's not much reward in that.

That terrible mood of depression of whether it's any good or not is what is known as The Artist's Reward.

Cowardice... is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend functioning of the imagination.

I think that growth and spiritual awareness come in slow increments. Sometimes you don't know it's happening.

The more the history of the World War and what led up to it is studied, the more clearly those tragic years become revealed as a vast collapse of civilization.

We had four years of world war which the peoples endured only because they were told that their sufferings would free humanity forever from the scourge of war.

The vast upheaval of the World War set in motion forces that will either destroy civilization or raise mankind to undreamed of heights of human welfare and prosperity.

Four years of world war, at a cost in human suffering which our minds are mercifully too limited to imagine, led to the very clear realization that international anarchy must be abandoned if civilization was to survive.

When a child is bruised physically or emotionally, parents often reward him with a treat.

People repeat behaviour that leads to flooding their brains with pleasurable chemicals. The short-term reward loop acts over hours to years, and the long-term reproductive success loop over generations.

To me, it is a process, a process that starts with raising awareness, engaging international partners on this issue, and being committed to a different course of action.

I can only point out a curious fact. Year after year the Nobel Awards bring a moment of happiness not only to the recipients, not only to colleagues and friends of the recipients, but even to strangers.

I got bitten by the free software bug in February of 1998 around the time of the Mozilla announcement.

I developed some unique software to public it on the web that I call the Folklore Project.

Circumstances cause us to act the way we do. We should always bear this in mind before judging the actions of others. I realized this from the start during World War II.
