Temptation, Al Gore
Our founders were insightful students of human nature. They feared the abuse of power because they understood that every human being has not only "better angels" in his nature, but also an innate vulnerability to temptation — especially the temptation to abuse power over others.

Government, James Mill
Whenever the powers of government are placed in any hands other than those of the community, whether those of one man, of a few, or of several, those principles of human nature which imply that government is at all necessary, imply that those persons will make use of them to defeat the very end for which government exists.
~ James Mill

Science, Stephen Jay Gould
In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
- Stephen Jay Gould
과학에서 '사실'이란 '잠정적 승인을 보류하는 것이 잘못일 정도로 확정되었음'을 의미할 뿐입니다. 나는 사과가 내일부터 솟아오르기 시작할 수도 있다고 생각하지만, 물리학 수업시간에 그 가능성에 대해 동일한 시간을 할애할 만한 가치는 없습니다.
- 스티븐 제이 굴드
