“There might have been a hundred or a thousand life-bearing planets, had the course of evolution of the universe been a little different, or there might have been none at all. They would probably add, that, as life and man have been produced, that shows that their production was possible; and therefore, if not now then at some other time, if not here then in some other planet of some other sun, we should be sure to have come into existence; or if not precisely the same as we are, then something a little better or a little worse.” IfsMenShouldBelieveLittlesHas BeensDifferentMatterShowsBodyMightUniverseCoursesForceExistenceConsciousnessSunPlanetsEvolutionThousandHundredAddProductionsComplexityMight Have BeenMarvellous Author:Alfred Russel Wallace
“Growth isn't central at all, because I'm trying to run this company as if it's going to be here a hundred years from now. And if you take where we are today and add 15% growth, like public companies need to have for their stock to stay up in value, I'd be a multi-trillion-dollar company in 40 years. Which is impossible, of course.” IfsNeedsTryingYearsRunningTodayValuesCoursesGrowthBusinessCompanyImpossibleHundredDollarsAdd Author:Yvon Chouinard

“Sometimes I lie awake at night thinking about all the dumb things I do every day... If I live to be eighty and I do ten dumb things each day... That would be about two hundred and ninety thousand dumb things... When you add up all the dumb things you do, it's best to use round figures.” IfsThinkingTwoSometimesUseWould BeLyingNightFiguresThousandTenHundredAddRoundsDumbAwakeEach DayNinetyEightyAwake At NightDumb ThingsNight Thinking Author:Charles M.

“Try to understand why it is happening, from where it is coming, where the roots are, how it happens, how it functions, how it overpowers you, how in anger you become mad. Anger has happened before, it is happening now, but now add a new element to it, the element of understanding -- and then the quality will change. Then, by and by, you will see that the more you understand anger, the less it happens. And when you understand it perfectly, it disappears. Understanding is like heat. When the heat comes to a particular point -- one hundred degrees -- the water disappears.” TryingHappensUnderstandingWaterQualityHappenedParticularDegreesElementsHappeningsHundredRootsFunctionAngerMadAddDisappearHeat Author:Rajneesh
