“New laws, new kinds of things can emerge as the universe evolves. The more moving parts you have in something, the more possibilities there are. There's a whole new science now of complexity, and what we see is that complexity requires a very different approach than the kind of bottom-up approach that fundamental physics has always used. We're gonna have to think about the world in a different way if we want to address complex systems.”

This begins with an understanding of the diversity of people's gifts and talents and skills.

The art of leadership lies in polishing and liberating and enabling those gifts.”

Love is the force that makes us fully human.”
