“The community of developers whose work you see on the Web, who probably don't know what ADO or UML or JPA even stand for, deploy better systems at less cost in less time at lower risk than we see in the Enterprise. This is true even when you factor in the greater flexibility and velocity of startups.” KnowsCommunityGreaterRiskCostFactorsEnterpriseFlexibilityDevelopersVelocity Author:Tim Bray
“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
“The education of our people should be a lifelong process by which we continue to feed new vigor into the lifestream of the Nation through intelligent, reasoned decisions. Let us not think of education only in terms of its costs, but rather in terms of the infinite potential of the human mind that can be realized through education. Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our Nation.” PeopleThinkingShouldMindHumansMeanDreamNationsProcessTermAbilityDecisionGreaterCostBenefitsIntelligentInfiniteDevelopingHuman MindFulfilledLifelongVigorHopes And DreamsInfinite Potential Author:John F.

“The laws of thermodynamics restrict all technologies, man's as well as nature's, and apply to all economic systems whether capitalist, communist, socialist, or fascist. We do not create or destroy (produce or consume) anything in a physical sense- we merely transform or rearrange. And the inevitable cost of arranging greater order in one part of the system (the human economy) is creating a more than offsetting amount of disorder elsewhere (the natural environment).” MenHumansWellsLawOrderNaturalTechnologyEconomyEnvironmentGreaterEconomicProduceAmountCostCreatingInevitableCommunistDisorderCapitalistElsewhereSocialistFascistsNatural EnvironmentEconomic SystemsArrangingThermodynamics Author:Herman E.

“One of the most basic and pervasive social processes is the sorting and labeling of things, activities, and people... Sorting and labeling processes involve a trade-off of costs and benefits. In general, the more finely the sorting is done, the greater the benefits - and the costs... Sorting and labeling, whether of people or of things, is a sorting and labeling of probabilities rather than of certainties.” PeopleDoneSocialProcessGreaterCostActivityBenefitsTradeCertaintyProbabilityLabelingSortingTrade Offs Author:Thomas Sowell
“The road toward equality of freedom is not easy, and great cost and danger march alongside us. We are committed to peaceful and nonviolent change, and that is important for all to understand - though all change is unsettling.

“I think a current understanding about urban behavior tells us that it's important that people get out and be able to get away from the concrete jungles and the dense environment where they live for their own mental well-being.

“Dallas Willard warns us too of the "cost of non-discipleship." We may be able to live with some pain, but when our whole self becomes more and more rotten, the cost is far greater than dealing with the problem as soon as possible.
