While many of us are waiting until conditions are ‘just right’ before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, travelled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don’t know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.” Feather, William

"Every people is responsible for its traitors and its heroes, for its torturers and its victims. That makes us responsible for each other." Ferrato, Yolanda "Mental Health Rules 1. HAVE A HOBBY: Acquire pursuits which absorb your interest; sports and nature are best. 2. DEVELOP A PHILOSOPHY: Adapt yourself to social and spiritual surroundings. 3. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS: Cultivate companionship in thought and in feeling. Confide, confess, consult. 4. FACE YOUR FEARS: Analyse them; daylight dismisses ghosts. 5. BALANCE FANTASY WITH FACT: Dream but also do; wish but build; imagine but ever face reality. 6. BEWARE ALLURING ESCAPES: Alcohol, opiates and barbital's may prove faithless friends. 7. EXERCISE: Walk, swim, golf -- muscles need activity. 8. LOVE, BUT LOVE WISELY: Sex is a flame which uncontrolled may scorch; properly guided, it will light the torch of eternity. 9. DON'T BECOME ENGULFED IN A WHIRLPOOL OF WORRIES: Call early for help. The doctor is ready for your rescue. 10. TRUST IN TIME: Be patient and hopeful, time is a great therapist. Fetterman, Joseph "Knowledge is not a series of self-consistent theories that converges toward an ideal view; it is rather an ever increasing ocean of mutually incompatible (and perhaps even incommensurable) alternatives, each single theory, each fairy tale, each myth that is part of the collection forcing the others into greater articulation and all of them contributing, via this process of competition to the development of our consciousness." Feyerabend, Paul “Anytime you try to teach the subject without teachers who love the subject, it is doomed to failure and is foolish thing to do.”

"In the face of the lack of direct mathematical demonstration, one must be careful and thorough to make sure of the point, and one should make a perpetual attempt to demonstrate as much of the formula as possible. Nevertheless, a very great deal more truth can become known than can be proven." Feynman, Richard (Nobel Prize in Physics, acceptance address, 1965) "I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that may be wrong.

"The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership." Firestone, Harvey S. "Men wiser and more learned than I have discerned in history a plot, a rhythm, a predetermined pattern. These harmonies are concealed from me. I can see only one emergency following upon another as wave follows upon wave, only one great fact with respect to which, since it is unique, there can be no generalisations, only one safe rule for the historian: that they should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen."(*) Fisher, H.A.L. "Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification." Fisher, Martin H.

"Human life is a sad show, undoubtedly: ugly, heavy and complex. Art has no other end, for people of feeling, than to conjure away the burden and bitterness." Flaubert, Gustave "For lust of knowing what should not be known, ????? We take the Golden Road to Samarkand." Flecker, James Elroy "To a Poet a Thousand Years Hence I who am dead a thousands years, And wrote this sweet archaic song, Send you my words for messengers The way I shall not pass along. I care not if you bridge the seas, Or ride secure the cruel sky, Or build consummate palaces Of metal or of masonry. But have you wine and music still, And statues and a bright eyed love, And foolish thoughts of good and ill, And prayers to them who sit above? How shall we conquer? Like a windfalls at eve our fancies blow, And old Maeonides the blind Said it three thousand years ago. O friend unseen, unborn, unknown, Student of our sweet English tongue, Read out my words at night, alone: I was a poet, I was young.

"Enthusiasm is the electric current that keeps the engine of life going at top speed." Forbes B.C. "J.P. Morgan, then past 70 was asked by the son of an eminent father why he [Morgan] didn't retire. "When did your father retire?" asked Mr Morgan, without looking up from his desk. "in 1902." "When did he die?" Oh, at the end of 1904." "Huh!" snapped Mr Morgan, "If he had kept on working he would have been alive still." Work is God's best medicine. It is God's medicine for man." Forbes, B.C. * "Leaders in every walk of life act shortsightedly when they refuse to take suitable opportunity to afford the public a chance to get acquainted with them. Half this world's troubles spring from misunderstanding, from mistrust, from secrecy. The remedy lies in letting in the daylight, in allowing the public to know how our leaders won their way to the front, in bringing home to the rank and file that those at the top had to work hard and climb hard to get there. Quite a part of my time is devoted to every purpose of trying to bring about a better understanding between the haves and the have-nots..." Forbes B.C.
* "People are wise who seek by every legitimate means to make all the money they can honestly, for money can do so many worthwhile things in the world, not merely for one's self but for others.

"Success is finding, or making, that position which enables you to contribute to the world the very greatest services of which you are capable, through the diligent, persevering resolute cultivation of all the faculties God has endowed you with (or 'you have been given'? bl), an d doing it all with cheerfulness, scoring to allow difficulties or defeats to drive you to pessimism or despair. Success consists of being and doing, not simply accumulating. The business people or business enterprises that aspire to win the highest recognition for success must distinguish themselves, not by the magnitude of the profits, but by the value of the service provided." Forbes B.C. (Unfortunately (?) there are those who believe that the 'value of the service provided' is measured by the 'magnitude of the profits produced.' bl) "Tell me how a young person spends their evenings and I will tell you how far they are likely to go in the world. The popular notion is that a youth's progress depends upon how they act during their working hours. It doesn't. It depends far more upon how they utilise their leisure ... if they spend it in harmless idleness, they are likely to be kept on the payroll, but that will be about all. If they diligently utilise their own time ... to fit themself for more responsible duties, then the greater responsibilities -- and greater rewards -- are almost certain to come to them."(*) Forbes B.C. * “The be-all and end-all of life should not be to get rich but to enrich the world”

"The human being who lives only for themselves finally reaps nothing but unhappiness. Selfishness corrodes. Unselfishness ennobles, satisfies. Don't put off the joy derivable from doing helpful, kindly things for others."() Forbes B.C. "The person of fixed principles who has mapped out a straight course, and has the courage and self-control to adhere to it, does not find life complex. Complexities are all of our own making."() Forbes B.C. "The size of your body is of little account; the size of your brain is of much account but it is the size of your heart is of the most account of all." Forbes B.C. "Ugliness, squalor are breeding grounds for revolution. Beauty is conducive to tranquillity, happiness. Beautifying of homes and places of worship began with the dawn of civilization. Beautifying of workplaces is only in its infancy. Yet, since people normally spend more than half of their waking hours at work, surely it is important that adequate attention be devoted to elevating their working environment, whether office or factory or machine shop, mine or warehouse. Beautiful surroundings subtly encourage beautiful living. Drab surroundings, bad air, light, evoke bad reactions." Forbes B.C. "Upon our children -- how they are taught -- rests the fate -- or fortune -- of tomorrow's world." Forbes B.C. "Ability will never catch up with the demand for it." Forbes, Malcolm S.

"Parents are only human, and have plenty of problems of their own. And most children can deal with an occasional outburst of anger as long as they have plenty of love and understanding to counter it. But there are many parents whose negative patterns of behaviour are consistent and dominant in a child's life. These are the parents who do the harm. ... When these children (of 'toxic parents') become adults, they continue to bear burdens of guilt and inadequacy, making it extremely difficult for them to develop a positive self-image. The resulting lack of confidence and self-worth can in turn color every aspect of their lives. By now you may be thinking: "Wait a minute. Almost all the other nooks and experts say I can't blame anybody else for my problems." Baloney. Your parents are accountable for what they did. Of course, you are responsible for your adult life, but that life was largely shaped by experiences over which you had no control.

"The noblest question in the world is: "What good may I do in it?" Franklin, Benjamin "There are two ways of being happy. We may either diminish our wants or augment our means -- either will do -- the result is the same. If you are wise you will do both at the same time; and if you are very wise you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society." Franklin, Benjamin "There is too much stress today on material things. I try to teach my children not so much the value of cents, but a sense of values." Franklin, Benjamin "The use of money is all the advantage there is in having money." Franklin, Benjamin * “Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge.”

"While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us." Franklin, Benjamin "You have to love before you can be relentless." Franzen, Jonathan

"My people and I have come to an agreement which satisfies us both. They are to say what they please, and I am to do what I please." Frederick the Great, (King of Prussia, 1712-1786) "The saying that knowledge is power is not quite true. Used knowledge is power and more than power. It is money, and service, and better living for our fellow human beings, and a hundred other good things. But mere knowledge, left unused, has not power in it." Free, Edward E. "Without a vision of tomorrow, hope is impossible." Freire, P, "A hundred years is not much, but never is a long time." French proverb
* “One must learn to be bored.”

"Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training." Freud, Anna "Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise." Freud, Sigmund
* “I am not really a man of science, not an experimenter, and not a thinker. I am nothing but, by temperament, a conquistador – an adventurer, if you want to translate the term – with the curiosity, the boldness and the tenacity that belongs to that type of being.”
Freud, Sigmund
"People should not strive to eliminate their complexes, but to get in accord with them; they are legitimately what directs their contacts with the world." Freud, Sigmund "The great question which I have not been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is "What does a woman want?" Freud, Sigmund "Why fear death? It is the most beautiful adventure in life." Freud, Sigmund "Work has a greater effect than any other technique of living in the direction of binding the individual more closely to reality; in their work, at least, they are securely attached to a part of reality, the human community."(*) Freud, Sigmund
"Part of the American dream is to live long and die young." Friedenberg, Edgar Z. “Success is based on anything but internal fulfilment is bound to be empty.”
Friedman, Martha
?
"What kind of society isn't structured on greed? The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system." Friedman, Milton "Technology ... the knack of so arranging the world that we need not experience it." Frisch, Max "A person's main task in life is to give birth to themself, to become what they potentially are. The most important product of their effort is their own personality."() Fromm, Erich
?
“If people are to be able to love, they must be put in their supreme place. The economic machine must serve them, rather that they serves it” Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving.
?
"Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence." Fromm, Erich " .... Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person, it is an attitude, an orientation of character which determines the relatedness of a person in the world as a whole, not toward one 'object of love.'" Fromm, Erich (The Art of Loving) "Only people who have faith in themselves are able to be faithful to others." Fromm, Erich (The Art of Loving) "The danger of the past was that people became slaves. The danger of the future is that they may become robots."(*) Fromm, Erich "The lust for power is not rooted in strength but in weakness." Fromm, Erich "The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother and to become fully independent." Fromm, Erich "The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel people to unfold their powers. () Fromm, Erich "There is no meaning to life except the meaning people give their life by the unfolding of their powers." () Fromm, Erich "Americans are like rich parents who wishes they knew how to give their child the hardships that made them rich." () Frost, Robert
(American poet, 1874-1963) "Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up." Frost, Robert "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence." Frost, Robert * "Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep saying it." Frost, Robert
"It should be the pleasure of a poem itself to tell how it can. The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom. The figure is the same as for love." Frost, Robert (Collected Poems,1939)

"The world is full of willing people; some willing to work the ret willing to let them." Frost, Robert "The bible should be taught so early and so thoroughly that it sinks straight to the bottom of the mind where everything that comes along can settle on." Frye, Northrop "The human landscape of the New World shows a conquest of nature by an intelligence that does not love it." Frye, Northrop "The most technologically efficient machine that man has ever invented is the book." Frye, Northrop "High on the agenda for the 21st century will be the need to restore some kind of tragic consciousness." Fuentes, Carlos (1928-) " We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. We must learn to welcome and not to fear the voices of dissent. We must dare to think about the 'unthinkable things' because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless." Fulbright, James W. * "Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live." Fuller, Margaret (1810-1850)
* “Don’t try to make me consistent. I am learning all the time.” Fuller, R. Buckminster

* "Instead of thinking about: How do I earn a living? ... How do I survive? ... we ought to say, what is it that my experiences teaches me that could bring advantage to all humanity?" Fuller, R. Buckminster

* "Now there is one outstandingly important fact regarding Spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it." Fuller, R. Buckminster (Or: "There are no human passengers on spaceship earth; everyone is crew." Fuller, R. Buckminster)
* "Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors, but possibly one of the most important is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success, not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking." Fuller, R. Buckminster
?
* “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Fuller, R. Buckminster
?
* “When individuals join in a cooperative venture, the power generated far exceeds what they could have accomplished acting individually.”
Fuller, R. Buckminster "A danger foreseen is half avoided." Fuller, Thomas "If the wicked flourish, and thou suffer, be not discouraged. They are fatted for destruction: thou are dieted for health." Fuller, Thomas * "If you command wisely, you’ll be obeyed cheerfully." Fuller, Thomas

"The great end of life is not knowledge, but action" Fuller, Thomas " 'Tis not knowing much, but what is useful, that makes a wise man." Fuller, Thomas "Zeal is fit only for the wise, but is found mostly in fools."() Fuller, Thomas "If we always live our lives with a view to the worst possible outcome of anything, then we will become a much diminished society. Every human endeavour has risk attached." Furedi, Frank "Trade As we pay others, so we are paid. Life gives us back just what we give; And so, goodwill controls success, But trade that we may truly live. Sales may be made in money, yes, But they are always made to people; And so goodwill controls success, Bring folks back to buy again. Those profit most whose every sale, Creates a friend whose kindly thought Serves to perpetuate the tale, Of what and where and why they bought."(*) Furrow
* “Leadership is now a state of mind not a position.”
