“You are different from the really great man in only one thing: The great man, at one time, also was a very little man, but he developed one important ability: he learned to see where he was small in his thinking, and actions. Under the pressure of some task which was dear to him he learned better and better to sense the threat that comes from his smallness and pettiness. The great man, then, knows when and in what he is a little man.” ThinkingKnowsMenLittlesImportantDifferentActionAbilityOne ThingTasksPressureThreatDearGreat MenOne TimeReally GreatLittle ManSmallnessPettiness Author:Wilhelm Reich
“I think with being blind the one thing you would have going is that you could still feel things, see your way around so to speak. And if you had had the experience of seeing at one time in your life, then you would know what it was like and be able to function. I've said this before, I think I could really photograph blind if I had to.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayFeelsSaidStillsAbleSpeakSeeingOne ThingFunctionBlindPhotographOne Time Author:William Eggleston
“I spent 15 years in I-AA football, which is awesome, because you wear every hat in the building at one time. I was everything from a PA announcer to a popcorn salesman to a teacher at a university, as part of the PE department. When you don't have resources, what you do is study as much as you can and try to put it in your own terms. There's no one thing I've invented.” TryingYearsTermStudyTeacherOne ThingBuildingFootballResourcesUniversityDepartmentHatsOne TimeSalesmanPopcornAnnouncers Author:Jim McElwain
“Economists may not know much. But we know one thing very well: how to produce surpluses and shortages. Do you want a surplus? Have the government legislate a minimum price that is above the price that would otherwise prevail. That is what we have done at one time or another to produce surpluses of wheat, of sugar, of butter, of many other commodities. Do you want a shortage? Have the government legislate a maximum price that is below the price that would otherwise prevail.” KnowsWantWellsMayDoneGovernmentOne ThingProduceOne TimeSugarMinimumCommodityEconomistMaximumWheatShortageSurplus Book:Free to Choose: A Personal Statement Source: Free to Choose: A Personal Statement
