“Nothing is static, nothing is final, everything is held provisionally.”

Jocelyn Bell Burnell (1943) British scientist

Beautiful Minds (2010)
Context: I find that quakerism and research science fit together very, very well. In quakerism you're expected to develop your own understanding of god from your experience in the world. There isn't a creed, there isn't a dogma. There's an understanding but nothing as formal as a dogma or creed and this idea that you develop your own understanding also means that you keep redeveloping your understanding as you get more experience, and it seems to me that's very like what goes on in "the scientific method." You have a model, of a star, its an understanding, and you develop that model in the light of experiments and observations, and so in both you're expected to evolve your thinking. Nothing is static, nothing is final, everything is held provisionally.

“Those who stand for nothing fall for everything.”

Alexander Hamilton (1757–1804) Founding Father of the United States

The earliest known occurance of a similar adage dates back to 1926, then apparently regarded as a common one of unknown origin. Its connection to Alexander Hamilton arose from confusion with its use in 1978 by a UK radio broadcaster also named Alex Hamilton.

“What I mean by the Principle of Oneness is this:
That we must learn to realize
that there's nothing separate or apart.
That everything is part of everything else.”

Context: What I mean by the Principle of Oneness is this:
That we must learn to realize
that there's nothing separate or apart.
That everything is part of everything else.
That there's nothing above us,
or below us, or around us.
All is inherent within us.
Like Jesus said, "The Kingdom is Within."

“I feel apart from everything and a part of everything.”
