As An Elderly Man, I

I Have Tried 99 Times And Have Failed, But On The 100th Time Came Success.

Nor Do I Take Into Account A Danger Of Starting A Chain Reaction Of A Scope Great Enough To Destroy Part Or All Of The Planet...but It Is Not Necessary To Imagine The Earth Being Destroyed Like A Nova By A Stellar Explosion To Understand Vividly The Grow Ing Scope Of Atomic War And To Recognize That Unless Another War Is Prevented It Is Likely To Bring Destruction On A Scale Never Before Held Possible, And Even Now Hardly Conceived, And That Little Civilization Would Survive It.

Despite My Being An Old Gypsy There Is A Tendency To Respectability Inherent In Old Age.

If The Moon, In The Act Of Completing Its Eternal Way Around The Earth, Were Gifted With Self-consciousness, It Would Feel Thoroughly Convinced That It Was Traveling Its Way Of Its Own Accord On The Strength Of A Resolution Taken Once And For All. So Would A Being, Endowed With Higher Insight And More Perfect Intelligence, Watching Man And His Doings, Smile About Man's Illusion That He Was Acting According To His Own Free Will.

Science Without Religion Is Lame, Religion Without Science Is Blind.
