“حين تجد الناس يثرثرون فيما لايعرفون ويتكلمون عن كل شئ ولا شئ ، فاعلم انهم قد فقدوا العلاقة الحقيقة بالموضوع الذي ينصب عليه الكلام، واندفعوا في دوامة من القيل والقال بغير قرار ، عندئذ يتعذر على أي انسان التعمق في أي شئ ، ويوصد باب المعرفة الحقيقي والتساؤل الحقيقي ، ويختم هذا الفهم الفاسد بخاتم اللهاث وراء كل مثير ، والتلهف على كل جديد ، اي بالفضول الذي يسعى إلى أي كل كلام دون أن يستقر في أي مكان”

“Educate not Legislate
Refusing to pass unnecessary laws requires a converse – encouraging education and understanding. We started by slashing the salaries of legislators (Dubbed “Bloodbath on the Beltway”). That move provided funds to instigate incentive programs for high school teachers – to attract the best and brightest. The result was a generation of bright, energetic 18-year-olds graduating high-school, equipped to tackle the future.”

“We don’t always like change, do we? Sometimes, we’re like a baby sitting in a poopy diaper. We think, Sure it stinks, but it’s warm and it’s mine! We get defensive of our mess even if it’s not working. So when I tell people the first thing they need to do is put $1,000 in the bank and not touch it, it can be a deal-breaker. It requires you to look in the mirror and say, “You’re the problem.” When you do that emotionally, you’ll start to win with money.”
