All Evil

Lack of money is the root of all evil. - George Bernard Shaw

..... No, lack of opportunity to make money (and keep it) is the root of all evil.

Teaching Technique

Teaching and writing, to me, is really just seduction; you go to where people are and you find something that they're interested in and you try and use that to convince them that they should be interested in what you have to say. - Lawrence Krauss

..... One way to enthrall your audience.

Valuable Mistakes

The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake - you can't learn anything from being perfect. - Adam Osborne

..... Don't forget what happened to the last guy who was perfect.

The Game of Kings

Once the game is over, the King and the pawn go back in the same box. - Italian Proverb

..... At at least the king didn't get knocked out of the game on the first move.

Preserve Substance

Preserve substance; modify form; know the difference. Substance is enduring, form is ephemeral. Success follows those adept at preserving the substance of the past by clothing it in the forms of the future. The closest thing to a law of nature in business is that form has an affinity for expense, while substance has an affinity for income.  - Dee Hock

..... Heck with P's and Q's; mind your S's and F's.

Theoretical Path

A theory can be proved by experiment; but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory. - Albert Einstein

..... Not a clearly visible path anyway.

Cruel Truth

Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion. - Edward Abbey

First?

Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. - Alexander Pope

..... Moderation is boring.

Limits to Tolerance

Put up with it and you will get more of it. - Lynne Deal

..... The question is where to draw the line. What do you tolerate?

Beautiful Dreams

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. - Eleanor Roosevelt

..... Never quash someones dreams - you may be dooming their future.
