I fear that I am not heard, I fear that I am not understood, I fear that I will not be remembered. I have come to realize that it is fear that is the problem.

Mankind is characterized by a desire to worship something greater than themselves. Which God do you worship? The God of impatience and pride, or the God of love, peace and charity?

If the nature of the universe is indeed digital then what the speed of light defines for us is the processor speed.

The best that we can hope for in this world is a happy life and a peaceful death.

If capitalism is based on freedom, then we have cause to rejoice but if it is based on greed then we should feel nothing but shame.

It appears that only a small number of people are passionate about preserving the environment. One only has to watch the series, Planet Earth to understand how quickly the habitats of the Earth are disappearing. Before the industrial revolution there were one billion people, as this number increases our impact on the environment grows exponentially. If we are to succeed, then we should unite with one pupose and speak with one voice.

There is nothing quite so beautiful as a simple, eloquent expression.

At some point we should think about replacing our politicians with computers.

The danger in going on vacation is that, your employer may discover that they can get along just fine without you.

Being remembered is the closest thing to being alive.

In order for a car company to suvive in the future, they will need to offer a car that is simple, reliable and upgradeable.
I don't care how good a 1 year old car is! How good is it after 10 years?

Do not worry about finding the perfect partner, just be sure their flaws can be appreciated and enjoyed.

Is it possible that the only thing our great grandchildren will inherit is our mistakes?

Anatomically speaking, it is the human female, not the male, that is the pinnacle of design.

A worthy legacy is the irrevocable consequence of dreaming.
Rick A. Delmonico

Were these quotes from the same person?  The reason I thought some of them were a bit contradictory.  For example, in one quote the fear of not being remembered is addressed and fear is named as the villain.  Then another quote appears in which being remembered is the same as being immortal.  That suggests to me that the originator of these quotes might not have been entirely honest with himself when he uttered them...  Perhaps you were trying to create this sort of effect.

Some of the quotes sounded downright plain.  For example, everyone worries that one's boss will be able to get on without him when he goes on vacation.  

Still, I did like the serviceable for ten years one.  That was a good point.
