Quote by Dr. Lucas D. Shallua

“Sometimes good results are not celebrated by all because the process fouled, excluded or ignored those that hold the stake. This is when the means justifies the ends.”

“Corporate social responsibility alone seemed too passive, too insular, and too self-serving. In a world that seemed to be literally on fire from climate change and social unrest, corporate social responsibility appeared to many as a privileged exercise in self-improvement, however sincere or not. Corporate self-improvement was not enough for many engaged consumers and citizens; active corporate social improvement through activism was desired and called for.”

“Finding people who can make a difference in the world is like panning for gold. A huge amount of detritus has to be sifted before the nuggets are found. Most of the gold comes in small grains, but now and again a great, gleaming 24 carat nugget appears – a world-historic figure who will change everything. What’s it all about? INTELLIGENCE. DISCIPLINE. AMBITION. CAPABILITY. TALENT. DETERMINATION. Those are the qualities needed. It’s not about what the world can do for you. It’s about what you can do for the world. So, what can you do? Anything? Those who can, do. Those that can’t go on forums and discuss conspiracy theories.”

“Inversement, le propre de la maladie c'est d'être une réduction de la marge de tolérance des infidélités du milieu. Cette réduction consiste à ne pouvoir vivre que dans un autre milieu et non pas seulement parmi quelques-unes des parties de l'ancien. Au fond l'anxiété populaire devant les complications des maladies ne traduit que cette expérience.”

“Toute Église est conquérante par nature, parce qu'elle se croit en possession de l'absolu. [...] Aucune doctrine ne peut échapper à cette fascination. Le respect des convictions adverses et la tolérance moderne sont le fruit, et chez un petit nombre, du développement de la conscience ou de la conviction que la croyance à l'absolu est une maladie de l'esprit, chez la plupart des hommes le résultat d'une grande lassitude.”

“The fact that a human nose (use the letter X to symbolise the nose) is a necessary condition for spectacles to be perched in front of the eyes (use the letter Y to symbolise ‘spectacles being perched in front of the eyes’) does not entail that, because Y is the case, X is in itself necessary. ‘Necessity’ in the logical sense of ‘having to be so’ is not the same thing as the necessity involved in a ‘necessary condition’ – here things have to be so only relative to something else’s being the way it is. In the case of X’s being a necessary condition relative to Y, but not in itself necessary, X could have been different, and if it were so, there would, or at least might, be no Y. For example: if humans did not have noses, spectacles might be worn as goggles are, held before the eyes by an elastic strap. This is just how it is with the universe. We humans are the Y of which nature’s parameters are the X. We exist because the parameters are as they are; had they been different, we would not be here to know it. The fact that we exist because of how things happen to be with the universe’s structure and properties entails nothing about design or purpose. Depending on your point of view, it is just a lucky or unlucky result of how things happen to be. The universe’s parameters are not tuned on purpose for us to exist. It is the other way round: we exist because the laws happen to be as they are”
