To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
The proud, the cold untroubled heart of stone, that never mused on sorrow but its own.

Fundamental assumptions in general and scientific assumptions in particular are so hard to overturn because they are based on belief. Beliefs are so hard to overcome because they are irrational and therefore do not yield to logical argument.
Ye mariners of England! That guard our native seas; Whose flag has braved a thousand years, The battle and the breeze!
Men of England! who inheritRights that cost your sires their blood.

The meteor flag of England Shall yet terrific burn, Till danger’s troubled night depart, And the star of peace return.
Tomorrow let us do or die!
Love! the surviving gift of Heaven, The choicest sweet of Paradise, In life’s else bitter cup distilled.
