Quotes by Phil M. Williams  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“If a relationship is a net positive in your life, by all means, you should continue it, and you also need to do your part to be a positive influence in the other person’s life. But, if that relationship is a net negative, you might want to reconsider continuing with the relationship.” 34 Wes and Sugar’s Addictive Wes sat down on his couch, his phone in hand.”
Phil M. Williams, No Conscience

“We have a predicament, not a problem. Problems have solutions. Predicaments have outcomes.”
Phil M. Williams, Cesspool

“This begs the question, if we are heavily influenced by those around us before we learn to reason, how many of our decisions are really our own? Do we really think for ourselves?”
Phil M. Williams, The Propaganda Project

Anonymous Greek Proverb

“Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex,
the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.”
Bill Mollison

“Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons.”
Michael Shermer, Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time

“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
Ayn Rand
