I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest is not burning either because he is too lazy or too afraid to go and put the fire out.

In learning and argumentation, the quality brain is similar to a facility of maximum security. What passes the logic test, free of fallacy and pretense, then must pass the test of biblical accuracy in order to proceed as an adopted, reliable truth.

All great leaders find a sense of balance through their levels of reception. For instance, those who support a leader may soften him, those who ignore him may challenge him, and those who oppose him may stroke his ego.

Cleverness isn't always true nor is the truth always clever

Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back.

Never rebel for the sake of rebelling, but always rebel for the sake of truth.

Simply minding one's own business is more offensive than being intrusive. Without ever saying a word one can make a person feel less-than.
