Os Guinness
“When we learn the wrong lessons of history, evil is reinforced rather than restrained- particularly when we use the injuries of the past to serve the interests of the future and ignore the injustices of the present.”
Os Guinness, Unspeakable: Facing Up to Evil in an Age of Genocide and Terror

S.E. Hinton
“Rat race is the perfect name for it,' she said. 'We're always going and going and going, and never asking where. Did you ever hear of having more than you wanted? So that you couldn't want anything else and then started looking for something else to want? It seems like we're always searching for something to satisfy is, and never finding it. Maybe if we could lose our cool we would.”
S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders

“You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.”
Tina Fey, Bossypants

John C. Maxwell
“Every time you speak to people, give them something to feel, something to remember, and something to do.”
John C. Maxwell, The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader

Alister E. McGrath
“Science proceeds by inference, rather than by the deduction of mathematical proof. A series of observations is accumulated, forcing the deeper question: What must be true if we are to explain what is observed? What "big picture" of reality offers the best fit to what is actually observed in our experience? American scientist and philosopher Charles S. Peirce used the term "abduction" to refer to the way in which scientists generate theories that might offer the best explanation of things. The method is now more often referred to as "inference to the best explanation." It is now widely agreed to be the philosophy of investigation of the world characteristic of the natural sciences.”
Alister E. McGrath
