Calculation Quotes

Now that science has helped us to overcome the awe of the unknown in nature, we are the slaves of social pressures of our own making. When called upon to act independently, we cry for patterns, systems, and authorities. If by enlightenment and intellectual progress we mean the freeing of man from superstitious belief in evil forces, in demons and fairies, in blind fate--in short, the emancipation from fear--then denunciation of what is currently called reason is the greatest service reason can render.

~ Max Horkheimer

Don’t calculate the world. This world is untruthful. Don’t stop to do calculation, just keep on moving.

~ Dada Bhagwan

A true leader leads for the sake of love and his knowledge of the path, a bad leader redirects his followers to the path of destruction.

~ Michael Bassey Johnson

It is now established by verifiable evidence that religion stultifies the brain and is the great obstacle in the path of intellectual progress.The more religious a person is, the more he is steeped in ignorance and superstition, the less is his sense of moral responsibility. The more intelligent a person, the less religious he is. There is an old saying that 'where there are three scientists, there are two atheists.'The countries whose governments are dominated by religion and religious institutions are the most backward. By the same token, the countries whose people are the most enlightened, and whose governments are based upon the principle of secularism—the separation of church and state—are the most progressive.And let me tell you: When man is intellectually free, the progress he will make is beyond calculation.

~ Joseph Lewis

Every relationship is a cost benefit calculation, either it is material or spiritual.

~ M.f. Moonzajer

If he [Thomas Edison] had a needle to find in a haystack, he would not stop to reason where it was most likely to be, but would proceed at once with the feverish diligence of a bee, to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. … Just a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor.

~ Nikola Tesla

[S]he stood for some moments gazing at the sisters, with affection beaming in one eye, and calculation shining out of the other.

~ Charles Dickens
