• It is integrity that invests man with immortality, and bestows upon him the privilege of direct communion with God.
• There's an old saying: "Give a man a fish and you can feed him for a day. TEACH him to fish and you feed him for life!"
• "Purpose and principle, clearly understoood and articulated, and commonly shared, are the genetic code of any healthy organization. To the degree that you hold purpose and principles in common among you, you can dispense with command and control. People will know how to behave in accordance with them, and they'll do it in thousands of unimaginable, creative ways. The organization will become a vital, living set of beliefs."
- Dee Hock
• Every portion of matter can be thought of as a garden full of plants, or as a pond full of fish. But every branch of the plant, every part of the animal, and every drop of its vital fluids, is another such garden, or another such pool. [...] Thus there is no uncultivated ground in the universe; nothing barren, nothing dead.
(Monadology, §67,69)
• "What difference does it make if one sings like a donkey, as long as people say it is a nightingale?"
