Paralysis Of Leadership Is Due

The Society Which Scorns Excellence In Plumbing As A Humble Activity And Tolerates Shoddiness In Philosophy Because It Is An Exalted Activity Will Have Neither Good Plumbing Nor Good Philosophy: Neither Its Pipes Nor Its Theories Will Hold Water.

In The United States, To An Unprecedented Degree, The Individual's Social Role Has Come To Be Determined Not By Who He Is But By What He Can Accomplish.

We Need More Than Individual Value Systems; We Need A Shared Vision. A Nation Is Held Together By Shared Values, Shared Beliefs, Shared Attitudes. That Is What Enables A People To Maintain A Cohesive Society Despite The Tensions Of Daily Life. That Is What Enables Them To Rise Above The Conflicts That Plague Any Society.

Our Problem Is Not To Find Better Values But To Be Faithful To Those We Profess.

One Of The Reasons People Stop Learning Is That They Become Less And Less Willing To Risk Failure.
