Diversity: the art of thinking independently together.

Anticipating is more fun than recollecting.

Thinking well to be wise: planning well, wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.

The smart ones ask when they don't know. And, sometimes, when they do.

Diversity: the art of thinking independently together.

When a fissure off the California coast started pumping and dumping oil on the nearby towns and beaches, everybody started dumping on Union Oil. Matters weren't helped one iota by a manufactured quotation attributed to Union's president, Fred Hartley, alleging his amazement at the publicity for the loss of a few birds.... Fred Hartley never said what the press reported, as the transcript and the Senate committee members definitely established. But I don't suppose the truth will ever catch up with the more colorful falsehood.

Some people as a result of adversity are sadder, wiser, kinder, more human. Most of us are better, though, when things go better.
