"What are the libraries of science but..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“All that are printed and bound are not books; they do not necessarily belong to letters, but are oftener to be ranked with the other luxuries and appendages of civilized life. Base wares are palmed off under a thousand disguises.”

“Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.”

“To him whose elastic and vigorous thought keeps pace with the sun, the day is a perpetual morning.”

“What do I consider a teacher should be? One who breathes life into knowledge so that it takes new form in progress and civilization.”

“We know nothing about motivation. All we can do is write books about it.”

“All proofs rest on premises.”

“Part of what's changed in politics is social media and how people are receiving information.”

“We've all been put to sleep by somebody who's told us all these wonderful facts that didn't matter because information without emotion is not retained.”

“The approach and strategies are very similar in that you gather all the information you can and then keep adding to that base of information as things develop. You do whatever the probabilities indicated based on the knowledge that you have at that time, but you are always willing to modify your behaviour or your approach as you get new information. In bridge, you behave in a way that gets the best from your partner. And in business, you behave in the way that gets the best from your managers and your employees.”
