“There's no "I" on the football field. We have a total commitment to each other when we're out there. There is no doubt. It doesn't matter. The wins and losses of the game don't resonate with us.

“Sexual immorality and impure thoughts violate the standard established by the Savior.

“The disassociation between inner belief and outer behaviour allowed many people to enjoy a sense of retaining their inner decency while at the same time not risking any loss of livelihood, any compromise over career ambitions, let alone any potentially more sanctions; hence never revealing any signs of disagreement or openly showing anything less than apparently full commitment to the regime and its policies” PeopleBeliefEnjoyLossCareersPolicyAmbitionCommitmentCompromiseRegimesBehaviourRevealingDecencyDisagreementSanctionsLivelihoodRetaining Author:Mary Fulbrook
“In a dispassionate comparison of the relative values of human and robotic spaceflight, the only surviving motivation for continuing human spaceflight is the ideology of adventure. But only a tiny number of Earth's six billion inhabitants are direct participants. For the rest of us, the adventure is vicarious and akin to that of watching a science fiction movie. At the end of the day, I ask myself whether the huge national commitment of technical talent to human spaceflight and the ever-present potential for the loss of precious human life are really justifiable.” HumansEndsEarthMotivationValuesAsksLossNumbersFictionTalentAdventureHugeSixCommitmentDirectScience FictionBillionsTinyIdeologyHuman LifeThe End Of The DayComparisonRelativeContinuingSurvivingParticipantsRoboticsSpace TravelDispassionateVicariousSpaceflightScience Fiction MovieRelative Value Author:James Van Allen
“Even with a margin of safety in the investor's favor, an individual security may work out badly. For the margin guarantees only that he has a better chance for profit than for loss - not that loss is impossible. But as the number of such commitments is increased the more certain does it become that the aggregate of the profits will exceed the aggregate of the losses.” MayDoeCertainIndividualChanceLossNumbersImpossibleSecurityCommitmentSafetyInvestingProfitWork OutFavorsGuaranteesInvestorsExceedMargins Author:Benjamin Graham
“Do not accept principal risk while investing short-term cash: the greedy effort to earn a few extra basis points of yield inevitably leads to the incurrence of greater risk, which increases the likelihood of losses and severe illiquidity at precisely the moment when cash is needed to cover expenses, to meet commitments, or to make compelling long-term investments.” LongMomentsTermLossEffortAcceptingGreaterRiskNeededCommitmentBasesIncreaseInvestmentInvestingLong TermExtrasExpensesYieldCashCompellingPrincipalSevereGreedyShort TermLikelihood Author:Seth Klarman
“I would like to say something deeper, but for me, I saw a production of "Fences" in Rhode Island and a fabulous actress played Rose, but when she first came on the stage she was mad. You could just see it. She was all, "Troy stop!" So by the time you get to the revelation scene, I didn't think she loved him, so there was no loss. I think that the real tragedy and the real drama or the thing that makes you lean in is to see the love, to see the commitment. To see the fact that Rose is invested in this marriage no matter what.” ThinkingFirstsRealMatterFactsLossSawsStageDramaSceneCommitmentTragedyNo Matter WhatMadRoseProductionsDeeperActressesIslandsRevelationsFenceFabulousRhode Island Author:Viola Davis
“To experience commitment as the loss of options, a type of death, the death of childhood's limitless possibility, of the flattery of choice without duress-this will happen, mark me.
