“The great presidents never forget the principle of the republic and seek to preserve and enhance them – in the long run– without undermining the needs of the moment. Bad presidents simply do what is expedient, heedless of principles. But the worst presidents are those who adhere to the principles regardless of what the fortunes of the moment demand.” NeedsLongMomentsRunningPresidentForgetPrinciplesWorstDemandFortunePreservesNever ForgetRepublicLong RunsUnderminingGreat Presidents Author:George Friedman
“They say an elephant never forgets. Well, you are not an elephant. Take notes, constantly. Save interesting thoughts, quotations, films, technologies…the medium doesn't matter, so long as it inspires you. When you're stumped, go to your notes like a wizard to his spellbook. Mash those thoughts together. Extend them in every direction until they meet.” WellsLongMatterTogetherFilmForgetInterestingTechnologyInspireNotesMediumsNever ForgetQuotationsElephantsWizardsGet Well Author:Aaron Koblin
