The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Robert Falcon Scott

• Every day some new fact comes to light – some new obstacle which threatens the gravest obstruction. I suppose this is the reason which makes the game so well worth playing.
• We took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us. We have no cause for complaint.
• I may not have proved a great explorer, but we have done the greatest march ever made and come very near to great success.
• We are very near the end, but have not and will not lose our good cheer.
• I have come to the conclusion that life in the Antarctic Regions can be very pleasant.
• Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale, but surely, a great rich country like ours will see that those who are dependent on us are properly provided for.
• But we have been to the Pole and we shall die like gentlemen. I regret only for the women we leave behind.
• I do no think human beings ever came through such a month as we have…We are weak, writing is difficult, but for my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another, and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past.
• As one looks across the barren stretches of the pack, it is sometimes difficult to realise what teeming life exists immediately beneath its surface.
• It seems a pity, but I do not think that I can write more. For God’s sake look after our people.

Robert Falcon Scott, born on June 6, 1868, in Devonport, England, was a distinguished British Royal Navy officer and explorer known for his Antarctic expeditions. Scott’s first expedition, the Discovery Expedition (1901-1904), charted extensive portions of the Antarctic coastline and conducted significant scientific research.

He is most famous for leading the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) in a race to the South Pole. Scott and his team reached the South Pole on January 17, 1912, only to discover they had been beaten by Roald Amundsen’s Norwegian team by 34 days. Tragically, Scott and his four companions perished on the return journey due to extreme weather conditions, exhaustion, and lack of supplies.

Despite the failure, Scott’s expeditions provided valuable scientific data and left a legacy of courage and determination. He died on March 29, 1912, and is remembered as a symbol of heroic endurance in the face of adversity.

The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Thomas Mann

• Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.
• Stupid — well, there are so many kinds of stupidity, and cleverness is one of the worst.
• Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject.
• In books we never find anything but ourselves. Strangely enough, that always gives us great pleasure, and we say the author is a genius.
• People’s behavior makes sense if you think about it in terms of their goals, needs, and motives.
• If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere, you even smell it.

• A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
• Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.
• Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous – to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.

Thomas Mann (1875-1955) was a German novelist, short story writer, and social critic, best known for his epic novels and deeply symbolic works. Born in Lübeck, Mann came from a family of merchants and pursued literature after the death of his father.

His early work, “Buddenbrooks” (1901), chronicling the decline of a wealthy family, brought him fame and a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. His exploration of the human condition, often through the lens of his own experiences and the socio-political upheavals of his time, marked his major novels such as “The Magic Mountain” (1924) and “Doctor Faustus” (1947).

Mann was openly critical of fascism and fled Nazi Germany in 1933, eventually settling in the United States. His works grapple with themes of identity, morality, and the conflict between individualism and collectivism. Mann’s profound influence on 20th-century literature endures through his complex characters and masterful storytelling.

Erik Prince, born June 6, 1969, is an American entrepreneur, former Navy SEAL, and the founder of the private security firm Blackwater USA, now known as Academi. Born into a wealthy Michigan family, Prince was influenced by his father’s automotive parts company and his sister Betsy DeVos’s involvement in conservative politics.

He served as a Navy SEAL from 1992 to 1996, participating in missions in the Balkans and the Middle East. In 1997, he founded Blackwater, which gained prominence and controversy for its role in providing security services during the Iraq War.

Blackwater’s involvement in the 2007 Nisour Square massacre, where civilians were killed, brought intense scrutiny and criticism. Prince has since sold Blackwater and moved on to other ventures, including Frontier Resource Group, which focuses on investment in natural resources in Africa. Prince remains a contentious figure in discussions about privatized military operations and global security.

The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Jonathan Nolan

• Look at anyone’s bookcase at home, no matter how modest, and you’re going to find a book that contains wisdom or ideas or a language that’s at least a thousand years old. And the idea that humans have created a mechanism to time travel, to hurl ideas into the future, it sort of bookends. Books are a time machine.
• It’s always gratifying to hear that people are excited by something that you’ve been excited to make.
• I consider my job as a screenwriter to pack a script with possibilities and ideas – to create a feast for the filmmaker to pick from.
• I’m a big fan of the Mass Effect games, and that’s all about social manipulation and observing people and alliances and relationships.
• When you’re doing a film called ‘Interstellar,’ at some point – the idea was to be grounded in the science as much as possible – but with a name like ‘Interstellar,’ you had better go somewhere big and bold.
• Wormholes don’t exist because the only way they would exist is if they were seeded with exotic material created by an intelligence far beyond our own. Something would have to make one.
• I believe we should be good custodians of the Earth.
• I was a big Batman fan when I was a kid.
• To me, Joss Whedon is a god. I’m just a huge fan of his work; I love his work on TV.
• Wormholes are a gravitational phenomena. Or imaginary gravitational phenomena, as the case may be.

The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Sukarno

• The worst cruelty that can be inflicted on a human being is isolation.
• I hate imperialism. I detest colonialism. And I fear the consequences of their last bitter struggle for life. We are determined that our nation, and the world as a whole, shall not be the plaything of one small corner of the world.
• We must all build national unity, build all revolutionary forces, into one powerful wave to sweep away our main enemy, political imperialism and economic imperialism.
• Never, ever forget history.
• Let us not be bitter about the past, but let us keep our eyes firmly on the future.
• To me, both the Declaration of Independence and the Communist Manifesto contain underlying truths, but the West doesn’t permit a middle road.
• If we truly understand, remember, and love the people of Indonesia, let us accept this principle of social justice, that is, not only political equality, but we must create equality in the economic field, too, which means the best possible well-being.
• Am I not peaceful? We want to be free – completely free. Free to be free. We want to be left alone.
• I don’t want to be a dictator, because it is contrary to my own conscience. I am a democrat, but I don’t desire democratic liberalism. On the contrary, I want a guided democracy… I have a conception of my own, which I will put at the disposal of the party leaders if required.
• We are living in a world of fear. The life of man today is corroded and made bitter by fear: fear of the future, fear of the hydrogen bomb, fear of ideologies. Perhaps this fear is a greater danger than the danger itself because it is fear, which drives men to act thoughtlessly, to act dangerously.

Sukarno (1901-1970) was the first President of Indonesia, serving from 1945 to 1967. Born in Surabaya, Java, he was a leading figure in the Indonesian struggle for independence from Dutch colonial rule. Sukarno co-founded the Indonesian National Party (PNI) in 1927, advocating for national unity and independence.

His charisma and oratory skills earned him widespread support, and he was a central figure in the 1945 declaration of Indonesian independence. As president, Sukarno pursued a policy of “Guided Democracy,” aiming to balance the influences of communism, Islam, and nationalism.

He also initiated significant infrastructure projects and sought to position Indonesia as a leader of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War. However, his presidency faced challenges, including economic difficulties and political instability. In 1967, Sukarno was ousted from power by General Suharto, marking the end of his political career. He spent his final years under house arrest and died in 1970.
