“My personal assessment is that Dr. King is the greatest American we have ever produced. I can argue for Lincoln, I can argue for FDR, but for my money, King is the greatest American we have ever produced. His only weapon was love. He transforms a nation, transforms the world with one weapon and that of course being again the weapon of love. So that for me, King is the quintessential example of everything that I could ever want to be in my lifetime.” WorldWantI CanCoursesNationsExampleKingsWeaponsLifetimeArguingDrsAssessmentSmileyQuintessential Author:Tavis Smiley

“It just isn't the way you've been told. Let me give you an example: Time makes no sense. It really doesn't apply to me; it doesn't fit.

“I can only tell you one thing that I do know for sure, I am a dreamer. There are not many people that will recognize or want to recognize the fact that they are dreamers in their own life ... I continue to get up in the morning,enthusiastically, and go pick up a golf club with a thought that I can somewhere find that secret to making the cut. That's just an example, but it applies to other things in life, too, and that's the way I live and the way I think and the way I feel.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayWantFeelsI CanFactsSecretMorningCuttingOne ThingExamplePicksGolfClubsGet UpDreamerThings In LifeGolf Clubs Author:Arnold Palmer
“Owing to the identification of religion with virtue, together with the fact that the most religious men are not the most intelligent, a religious education gives courage to the stupid to resist the authority of educated men, as has happened, for example, where the teaching of evolution has been made illegal. So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence; and in this respect ministers of religion follow gospel authority more closely than in some others.” MenGivingHas BeensMadeI CanFactsTogetherRememberReligiousVirtueHappenedTeachingStupidExampleEvolutionAuthorityIntelligentPraiseEducatedMinistersIllegalOne WordIdentificationOwingEducated ManReligious Education Book:Education and the Social Order Source: Education and the Social Order
“I think too much is known about me already. I think biographical information can get in the way of the reading experience. The interchange between the reader and the work. For example, I know far too much about Norman Mailer and Kurt Vonnegut. Because I know as much as I do about their personal lives, I can't read their work without this interjecting itself. So if I had it to do over, I'd probably go the way of J.D. Salinger or Thomas Pynchon. And just stay out of it altogether and let all the focus be on the work itself and not on me.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayI CanReadingKnownToo MuchFocusInformationExampleReaderPersonal LifeInterchangeSalingerReading Experience Author:Tom Robbins
