“One would suppose that the battle for religious liberty was won in the United States two hundred years ago. However, in the time since, and right now, powerful voices are always raised in favor of bigotry and thought control. It is useful, then, to have a compendium of the thoughts of great men and women of all faiths (and of none) on the subject, to convince us that we men and woman of freedom are not and never have been alone.” MenYearsHas BeensTwoStatesVoiceReligiousUnitedPowerfulLibertyUnited StatesAtheismSubjectsRight NowBattleHundredMen And WomenYears AgoRaisedPositive AtheismFavorsGreat MenConvinceBigotryReligious LibertyConvince Us Author:Isaac Asimov
“The move from scarcity thinking to abundance thinking, from zero-sum competition to one-hundred-sum collaboration, is not just a “nice” or “moral” idea. In the twenty-first century, it's plain good sense. Scarcity says, “I'm going to keep all my ideas to myself and sell more than anyone else.” Abundance says, “By mentoring, coaching, and sharing all our best ideas, we're going to create a powerful tide that raises all our ships-and we'll all sell more as a result".” ThinkingFirstsIdeasMovingResultsPowerfulMoralNiceCenturyHundredTwentiesRaisesSellsCompetitionShipsCoachingAbundanceZeroCollaborationTidesGood SenseScarcityMentoring Author:Daniel Burrus
“It's a sign of respect and connection to learn the name of someone else, a sign of disrespect to ignore it. And yet, the average American can name over a hundred corporate logos and ten plants. Is it a surprise that we have accepted a political system that grants personhood to corporations, and no status at all for wild rice and redwoods? Learning the names of plants and animals is a powerful act of support for them. When we learn their names and their gifts, it opens the door to reciprocity.” PoliticalNamesAnimalPowerfulSupportDoorsTenHundredConnectionsPlantSurpriseAverageAcceptedCorporateCorporationsGrantsRiceDisrespectPolitical SystemsReciprocityLogosPlants And AnimalsPersonhoodRedwoods Author:Robin Wall Kimmerer
“A couple of hundred years from now, maybe [science fiction writers] Isaac Asimov and Fred Pohl will be considered the important philosophers of the twentieth century, and the professional philosophers will almost all be forgotten, because they're just shallow and wrong, and their ideas aren't very powerful.” YearsImportantIdeasPowerfulFictionCenturyCoupleHundredScience FictionForgottenPhilosopherShallowTwentieth CenturyVery PowerfulFiction WritersIsaac Author:Marvin Minsky
“In the 16th century, [Niccolò] Machiavelli - in an attempt to get back in the good graces of the powerful - wrote a slim volume called The Prince. In that book he showed the powers that be how to control the people. That book is a statement: separate and rule, divide and conquer. That's five hundred years ago and it still works, because we allow ourselves to be lead around with holes through our noses.” PeopleYearsStillsBookPowerfulFiveGraceCenturyHundredYears AgoHolesStatementsConquerNosesGet BackDividesVolumeSlimDivide And Conquer Author:Maya Angelou

“I loved Jack because of every little thing about him. The way he laughed, the way he made me smile, the way he'd stay up until nine in the morning watching zombie movies he'd seen a hundred times, and the way he could never hold a grudge.
