“Thinking in terms of two realms understands the paired concepts worldy-Christia n, natural-superna tural, profane-sacred, rational-revela tions, as ultimate static opposites...and fails to recognize the original unity of these opposites in the Christ-reality.” ThinkingTwoRealityTermChristNaturalFailingConceptsOppositesUltimateOriginalsSacredUnityRationalRealmsStaticProfane Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“Greater consumption due to increase in population and growth of income heightens scarcity and induces price run-ups. A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.” IfsWayNeedsShouldDoeEndsProblemRunningOpportunityGrowthResultsGreaterFailingHigherCostSucceedIncreaseOriginalsFinalsPopulationDuesIncomeConsumptionNew WaysBetter OffInventorShortageScarcity Author:Julian Simon

“Language fails not because thought fails, but because no verbal symbols can do justice to the fullness and richness of thought.

“Most change initiatives either fail or fall far short of original (perhaps unrealistic) expectations.

“In stand-up it really helps to play yourself and talk about your own feelings. You cannot fail to be original if you're just talking about what you think about X, Y and Z.
