“Sure, you can choose the safety and predictability of the cage, forfeiting the adventure God has destined for you. But you won't be the only one missing out or losing out. When you lack the courage to chase the Wild Goose, the opportunity costs are staggering. Who might not hear about the love of God if you don't seize the opportunity to tell them? Who might be stuck in poverty, stuck in ignorance, stuck in pain if you're not there to help free them? Where might the advance of God's kingdom in the world stall out because you weren't there on the front lines?” IfsWorldHelpingMightPainOpportunityLinesPovertyMissingFrontsIgnoranceAdventureCostLosingSafetyStuckKingdomsGod LoveCagesDestinedGeeseStaggeringMissing OutPredictabilitySeize The OpportunityOpportunity CostWild GeeseLosing Out Author:Mark Batterson

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life. He doesn't seem to know that the cost of living, the price of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines all depend on political decisions. He even prides himself on his political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he hates politics. He doesn't know, the imbecile, that from his political non-participation comes the prostitute, the abandoned child, the robber and, worst of all, corrupt officials, the lackeys of exploitative multinational corporations.” KnowsChildrenSeemsPoliticalHateDecisionWorstIgnorancePrideDependsCostMedicineSticksCorporationsOfficialsChestsAbandonedParticipationBeansIlliterateRobbersPolitical LifeImbecilesMultinationalsFlourCost Of LivingMultinational CorporationsLackeysPolitical DecisionsHate Politics Author:Bertolt Brecht
“The costs of an ignorance of science are nor just practical ones like misbegotten policies, forgone cures, and a unilateral disarmament in national competitiveness. There is a moral cost as well. It is an astonishing fact about our species that we understand so much about the history of the universe. the forces that make it tick, the stuff it's made of; the origin of living things, and the machinery of life. A failure to nurture this knowledge shows a philistine indifference to the magnificent achievements humanity is capable of; like allowing a great work of art to molder in a warehouse.” WellsArtMadeFactsShowsHumanityUniverseForceStuffMoralPolicyIgnoranceCostAchievementCapableSpeciesPracticalsCuresIndifferenceWorks Of ArtAllowingMagnificentNurtureMachineryGreat WorkLiving ThingsAstonishingDisarmamentTickCompetitivenessWarehousePhilistines Author:Steven Pinker
