How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.

Truth is a tendency.

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.

I'm not a genius. I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience.

We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.

Love is metaphysical gravity.

War is the ultimate tool of politics.

Either war is obsolete, or men are.
