“I have an argument that to master any field, it's simple: it's a function of time. How much you devote yourself to the process, how much experience you get, how much you're willing to expand your limits, how willing you are to develop your own style. If you're willing to put 10,000 hours, something amazing is going to happen.” IfsHappensProcessHoursSimpleStyleFieldsWillingMastersLimitsArgumentFunction Author:Robert Greene
“Unlike mathematical theorems, scientific results can't be proved. They can only be tested again and again, until only a fool would not believe them. I cannot prove that electrons exist..........if you don't believe in them I have a high voltage cattle prod I'm willing to apply as an argument on their behalf. Electrons speak for themselves.” IfsBelieveSpeakResultsWillingFoolProveArgumentDon't BelieveMathematicalAgain And AgainTestedBehalfCattleTheoremsElectronsVoltage Author:Seth Lloyd
“Everybody have equal rights to a life of full flourishing. Philosophy slowly, slowly has given us arguments saying, look, you already committed to your own life flourishing, and you're being inconsistent if you don't expand it. So philosophy often works in trying to show us that there's an inner incoherence in our points of view. We're all committed to one thing when it comes to us and our own kind, but we're not willing to expand it and we're guilty of inconsistency.” IfsTryingLooksKindPhilosophyShowsGivenViewsRightsOne ThingWillingEqualArgumentCommittedPoint Of ViewGuiltyEqual RightsInconsistentFlourishingInconsistencyIncoherence Author:Rebecca Goldstein
“Particularly when the war power is invoked to do things to the liberties of people, or to their property or economy that only indirectly affect conduct of the war and do not relate to the engagement of the war itself, the constitutional basis should be scrutinized with care. ... I would not be willing to hold that war powers may be indefinitely prolonged merely by keeping legally alive a state of war that had in fact ended. I cannot accept the argument that war powers last as long as the effects and consequences of war for if so they are permanent -- as permanent as the war debts.” PeopleIfsShouldMayLongWarStatesFactsCareLastsLibertyAcceptingPowerEconomyAliveEffectsWillingConsequenceEconomicsArgumentBasesConstitutionPropertyDebtRelatePermanentEngagement Author:Robert H.

“We did respect [Bernard Leach], although we also were willing to challenge ideas and at least put forth our feelings about the way the pottery was run, about things that were done, about the pots we were making, etc. And we would get into sometimes some very fierce arguments.
