More From James Randi

The claim is also sometimes made that science is as arbitrary or irrational as all other claims to knowledge, or that reason itself is an illusion. as ethan allen said those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, then they establish the principle that they are labouring to dethrone. if they argue without reason, which they must do, in order to be consistent with themselves, they are out of reach of rational conviction, nor do they deserve a rational argument.

I cannot find any patience for those people who believe that you start writing when you sit down at your desk and pick up your pen and finish writing when you put down your pen again; a writer is always writing, seeing everything through a thin mist of words, fitting swift little descriptions to everything he sees, always noticing. just as i believe that a painter cannot sit down to his morning coffee without noticing what color it is, so a writer cannot see an odd little gesture without putting a verbal description to it, and ought never to let a moment go by undescribed.
Morning Coffee Believe
As long as you have life and breath, believe. believe for those who cannot. believe even if you have stopped believing. believe for the sake of the dead, for love, to keep your heart beating, believe. never give up, never despair, let no mystery confound you into the conclusion that mystery cannot be yours.
Giving Up Believe Heart
Nature always takes you at your own valuation. believe you are the child of god-really believe it. believe that you express divine life, divine truth, and divine love. believe that divine wisdom guides you. believe that god is your supply. believe that god is helping and blessing humanity through you. believe that you are a special enterprise on the part of god and that he is opening your way-and what you really believe, that you will demonstrate.

With all thy getting, get understanding, is the banner under which these forbes editorials have appeared since the first issue of the publication. we have no illusions about what great wealth can do and what it cannot do. we believe in the worthwhileness of striving by all worthy means to attain success and to attain wealth. simply because we are convinced that no amount of money is worth the sacrifice of one's better instincts, of one's self-respect-of one's soul, if you wish-simply because we are convinced that riches not gained legitimately and decently are not worth having.
Believe Mean Sacrifice
And do you know, do you know that mankind can live without the englishman, it can live without germany, it can live only too well without the russian man, it can live without science, without bread, and it only cannot live without beauty, for then there would be nothing at all to do in the world! the whole secret is here, the whole of history is here. science itself would not stand for a minute without beauty

Secrecy is for losers. . . . it is time to dismantle government secrecy, this most persuasive of cold war-era regulations. it is time to begin building the supports for the era of openness that is already upon us.
