The bottom line is that finding orphan planets - small, faint, and located who-knows-where - is not for the faint of heart. The task is comparable to observing a match flame at the distance of Pluto. The WISE satellite, a hi-tech, space-based infrared telescope especially suited for such work, has found only a few.
Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.
I only want to protect animals from barbarous, cruel, inhuman and backward rituals.
It's not only inhumane to treat Puerto Ricans as second-class citizens. It's deeply un-American.
Only the most unapologetic biblical fundamentalists, for instance, take every biblical injunction literally. If we all took all scripture at the same level of authority, then we would be more open to slavery, to the subjugation of women, to wider use of stoning. Jesus himself spoke out frequently against divorce in the strongest of terms.
The only knowledge which satisfies us is one which is subject to no external standards but springs from the inner life of the personality.
Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.
There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness or death. Any attempt to prove otherwise constitutes unacceptable behavior.
The goal of any true resistance is to affect outcomes, not just to vent. And the only way to affect outcomes and thrive in our lives is to find the eye in the hurricane and act from that place of inner strength.
There are only three outs an inning, and they should be treasured. Give one away, and you're making everything harder for yourself.
Cricketers are made to feel that they are very special. That is okay as long as cricketers realise they are only as good as their last innings.
Resentment seems to have been given us by nature for a defense, and for a defense only! It is the safeguard of justice and the security of innocence.
The absence and suppression of justice can only open the way for extremists to exploit such a condition to perpetrate acts of violence against innocents.
The most all penetrating spirit before which will open the possibility of tilting not tables, but planets, is the spirit of free human inquiry. Believe only in that.
A defence in the Inquisition is of little use to the prisoner, for a suspicion only is deemed sufficient cause of condemnation, and the greater his wealth the greater his danger.
The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.
Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.
First rule of Economics 101: our desires are insatiable. Second rule: we can stomach only three Big Macs at a time.
Only the insecure strive for security.
There were only 170 neurologists in Britain then and, whether spoken or unspoken, there was this insidious feeling. How can Bannister, a mere athlete, probably spoilt by all the publicity and fame, dare aspire to neurology? But I'd done a lot of research, and my academic record was very good.
