“In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.” YearsWellsIdeasEnoughTimeResultsPayFiveGreaterFeetSourceInvolvedThousandResourcesYears AgoInvestmentDeeperSurfaceOilOperationsMore TimeTexasNatural Resources Author:Alfred Armand Montapert

“The whole movie thing has never been a source of great pride for me, in that Burt Reynolds, who starred in the picture, butchered the original script I had written for the late Steve McQueen, and the result, while a massive moneymaker, was lashed by the critics. But like the old joke about Pierre the Bridge Builder, The Cannonball Run is indelibly inscribed on my so-called career portfolio, and few conversations with strangers pass without the subject of the picture arising.” WholeRunningResultsCareersWrittenSubjectsSourcePrideConversationLateJokesOriginalsCriticsScriptsStrangerBridgesMassiveBuilderPortfoliosMcqueenOld JokesCannonballs Author:Brock Yates
“Nonviolent action involves opposing the opponent's power, including his police and military capacity, not with the weapons chosen by him but by quite different means. Repression by the opponent is used against his own power position in a kind of political "ju-jitsu" and the very sources of his power thus reduced or removed, with the result that his political and military position is seriously weakened or destroyed.” KindMeanDifferentActionPoliticalUsedResultsPowerMilitaryPositionSourceWeaponsCapacityPoliceIncludingChosenDestroyedOpponentsRepressionOpposing Author:Gene Sharp
“The child knows only that he engages in play because it is enjoyable. He isn't aware of his need to play--a need which has its source in the pressure of unsolved problems. Nor does he know that his pleasure in playing comes from a deep sense of well-being that is the direct result of feeling in control of things, in contrast to the rest of his life, which is managed by his parents or other adults.” KnowsNeedsWellsChildrenDoePlayFeelingsProblemParentPleasureResultsSourceAdultsDirectPressureWell BeingContrastEnjoyableUnsolved Problems Author:Bruno Bettelheim
“It is conceivable that animal life might have the attribute of using the heat of surrounding matter, at its natural temperature, as a source of energy for mechanical effect . . . .The influence of animal or vegetable life on matter is infinitely beyond the range of any scientific enquiry hitherto entered on. Its power of directing the motions of moving particles, in the demonstrated daily miracle of our human free-will, and in the growth of generation after generation of plants from a single seed, are infinitely different from any possible result of the fortuitous concurrence of atoms.” HumansDifferentMatterMightMovingEnergyGrowthNaturalAnimalResultsGenerationsInfluenceEffectsSourceMiraclePlantSeedsRangeHeatFree WillAttributesAtomsVegetablesParticlesTemperatureAnimal LifeEnquiryFortuitousConcurrenceDaily Miracles Author:Lord Kelvin
