"The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do."
"A person does not act upon the world, the world acts upon him." "The consequences of an act affect the probability of its occurring again." "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." "Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten." |
