Thoughts from my book of philosophies.

The following are excerpts from my book of philosophical musings:
Science is a limited pursuit. It moves from stage to stage; waiting for a new idea to be accepted. The world stops when science takes a breath.
If there are two sides to a dispute, both have fault.
Life is a passing breath. In a hundred years, no one will remember your name. Do what you can for others while your breath lasts.
If a man will value his horse, his house or his wife beyond his dreams he will not achieve greatness. True greatness comes from absolute dedication to a vision.
You will fail many times. Each failure is a lesson towards achievement.
Any promise is a bond of honor. It must be redeemed.
If a man takes one step forward he is judged as progressive; if he takes two steps, he is looked upon with suspicion; if he takes three steps, he is seen as an enemy.
Treat a friend with caution; treat an enemy with praise.
There is no modern democracy. Those governments which claim to be democracies are, in fact, corpocracies. They are controlled by their financial supporters.
No democratic government has a lobby of the people.
People do not fear the known; they fear the unknown. If your ideas are new, prepare to be feared and despised.
Good luck in your work,
Roger W. Harrington.
