Sir Isaac Newton (1643–1727) was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, and theologian who invented calculus and provided significant insight into the universal law of gravitation and motion. The sentence that precedes this quote is "Atheism is so senseless."

Like many quotes, there are questions if St. Francis said this. Regardless, this correlates well to Jesus' teaching that "No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Shine your light in the darkness!

If accurate, this idea would throw a real monkey wrench into most business models. Lao Tzu would most likely be shocked at how much of our world is manipulated by predictions and forecasts. But then again, maybe not. It's hard to predict...

John Naisbitt (1929–2021) was a public speaker in the area of future studies. In 1982 he authored Megatrends: Ten New Directions Transforming Our Lives. He certainly nailed this quote! Think how much this issue has worsened in the last 40 years.

Modern concepts of 'origins' are both wildly varied and seemingly less important than they once were. In this quote from Dante's "Inferno", the word origin literally refers to agricultural seed stock. Our world is still ripe for this way of thinking.

This quote underscores the important difference between knowledge and wisdom. While knowledge involves intentional learning and accumulating facts, wisdom is gained through careful observation and understanding of life’s experiences. This insight encourages practical engagement with the world to cultivate true discernment beyond theoretical learning.

Socrates' teaching revolved around dialogue with his students. I believe this statement points to an essential blend of knowledge and humility. William Shakespeare said something similar: "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool."

This idea paints with a very broad brush. I have areas of my life where my actions are based on intuition rather than knowing. As for knowledge without action, that can be an appropriate response to things totally beyond my control. How do you feel about this quote?

I loved discovering this quote. It reminds me of one of the premises of Landmark. There, one is taught there are 3 segments in the pie chart of knowledge: a) what you know that you know, b) what you know that you don't know, and c) a segment that represents what you don't know that you don't know. The latter is the largest segment by far...

A martinet is a strict disciplinarian - a term synonymous with authoritarian, bully, despot, enforcer, stickler, and taskmaster! In Italian, -issimo endings are called absolute superlatives; they translate as 'very', 'extremely', 'really', or even 'the most'. There are numerous stories about conductor Leopold Stokowski that bear witness to his very accurate self-description!

Stowkowski's recording reveals the fruits of his strict relationship with the intonation (pitch) of the orchestra and the technical aspects of playing a musical instrument. Conductors do much more than simply wave a baton to beat the time. Great conductors use rehearsal time to listen to and guide the finer details of the music.

I have heard numerous conductors singling out a musician in a small ensemble to make a note slightly higher or lower in order to sweeten the chord. When I was the assistant principal violist of the Denver Symphony Orchestra, I have also been on the receiving end of the viola section being told to play more aggressively, gentler, or more staccato, etc. A great conductor holds a watchful ear on everything that is going on in the entire orchestra.

"Leopold Anthony Stokowski (1882-1977) was a British conductor who is best known for creating the unique sound of The Philadelphia Orchestra, where he was music director for 25 years. His engaging personality and sense of showmanship brought him unprecedented popularity for a symphonic conductor." (Wikipedia)
