Some memorable notions

"What is morality but immemorial custom? Conscience is the chief of conservatives."

- H. D. Thoreau

"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side."

- Aristotle

"Nothing is too wonderful to be true."

- Faraday

"There's no such thing as too much lube."

- Mark Morford
