Quotable Quotes: About Questions

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

I love questions. Questions are the stuff of life, especially if you’re a ‘why‘ person like me.

Answers are fine, but questions take you further; they’re all about creativity, innovation and the unknown. Questions are the road to the future.

“The first people had questions and they were free. The second people had answers, and they became enslaved.” –Wind Eagle, American Indian Chief (Questions take you further than answers. Hat tip to Slacker Manager for this quote.)

“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” -–Galileo (See that; it’s about the questions.)

“I am not young enough to know everything.” –Oscar Wilde (Isn’t that great? Under 25 (give or take) and you don’t need questions.)

“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.” –Ellen Parr (More questions. Questions are curiosity in action.)

Quotable Quotes: About (Wo)Men

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Great insights for you today—all as true now as when they were originally written.

You’ll have to forgive Galileo; he wasn’t a chauvinist, just a product of his times. Feel free to add ‘hu’ to ‘man’ if it bothers you too much.

“You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.” –Galileo (Early exploration of MAP.)

“I never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.” –Galileo (Often more than from the educated ones.)

“Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.” — Lois Wyse (Does that make out-of-control ego and excessive greed a strength?)

“The best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what he wants them to do, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” –Theodore Roosevelt (True for managers at any level. Does the shoe fit?)

“I love mankind, it’s people I can’t stand.” -–Linus (I’ve always felt this way, but lately I’m starting to wonder about mankind.)
