"Will a loving God send a man to hell? The answer from Jesus and His teachings of the Bible is, clearly, “Yes!” He does not send man willingly, but man condemns himself to eternal hell because . . .he refuses God's way of salvation and the hope of eternal life with Him."

"The condition you're in at this moment is the product of your previous thoughts, to change your condition, change your thoughts."

"There is always a path to our target, the problem is to discover it!"

"Money isn't the solution to your problems. It only lets you carry your unhappiness around in style."

"From a cleansed conscience emerges a changed life."

"The major novelty of my theory was its claim that the most rapid evolutionary change does not occur in widespread, populous species, as claimed by Most geneticists, but in small founder populations."

"In those early years in New York when I was a stranger in a big city, it was the companionship and later friendship which I was offered in the Linnean Society that was the most important thing in my life."

"All I claimed was that when a drastic change occurs, it occurs in a relatively small and isolated population."

"I had found again and again that the most aberrant population of a species - often having reached species rank, and occasionally classified even as a separate genus - occurred at a peripheral location, indeed usually at the most isolated peripheral location."

"Living in an entirely different physical as well as biotic environment, such a population would have unique opportunities to enter new niches and to select novel adaptive pathways."

"New gene pools are generated in every generation, and evolution takes place because the successful individuals produced by these gene pools give rise to the next generation."

"As a consequence, geneticists described evolution simply as a change in gene frequencies in populations, totally ignoring the fact that evolution consists of the two simultaneous but quite separate phenomena of adaptation and diversification."

"Most of them are doomed to rapid extinction, but a few may make evolutionary inventions, such as physiological, ecological, or behavioral innovations that give these species improved competitive potential."

"Evolution thus is merely contingent on certain processes articulated by Darwin: variation and selection."
