I think I’ve got wiser.

The murder of Lumumba, in which the U.S. was involved, in the Congo destroyed Africa’s major hope for development. Congo is now total horror story, for years.

Despite all our gains in technology, product innovation and world markets, most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for.

The more you practice, the better you get, the more freedom you have to create.

I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn’t ever have to rely on the press for my information.

The whole infrastructure of air travel was, and is, part of government policy. It is not a natural development of a free economic system – at least not in the way that is claimed. The same is true of the roads, of course.

Although modesty is natural to man, it is not natural to children. Modesty only begins with the knowledge of evil.

I aspire my country eventually has a league where all players play 50 games.

As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.

Concede that the new government of Louisiana is only to what it should be, as the egg is to the fowl; we shall sooner have the fowl by hatching the egg than by smashing it.

Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.

Nothing recedes like progress.

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings – words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

The first condition of progress is the removal of censorship.

In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.

I think I had a mild case of Asperger’s as a younger guy, but that typically just wears off after a while.

I think the positive competition between states in India is one of the most positive dynamics that the country has.

Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.

I don’t look at a man who’s expert in one area as a specialist. I look at him as a rookie in ten other areas.

Civilization is the making of civil persons.

Life is about growing and improving and getting better.

I’m not very articulate.

Nothing on this earth is standing still. It’s either growing or it’s dying. No matter if it’s a tree or a human being.

When you are president, being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. Knowing what you’re doing is a good thing. And let me tell you, Hillary Clinton absolutely knows what she’s doing.

A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce, or a tragedy, or perhaps both.

There has to be a global mission of human progress.

When you revolutionize education, you’re taking the very mechanism of how people be smarter and do new things, and you’re priming the pump for so many incredible things.

Africa is on the rise.

I don’t think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.

Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.

Working with a lot of people at the same time is a task. I really like making stuff and getting stuff done. One of the things I really liked about Facebook was that I could always move so quickly. I wrote the original application in, like, nine days at the end of January.

Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.

International summits and organisations like WTO take decisions, which will bind us, and if we are not present in such summits, we may be hurt by the decisions taken.

Immaturity is the incapacity to use one’s intelligence without the guidance of another.

On the ‚Star,‘ you were forced to learn to write a simple declarative sentence. This is useful to anyone. Newspaper work will not harm a young writer and could help him if he gets out of it in time.

As a research tool, the internet is invaluable.

No greater thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

China has to go along with world trends. That’s democracy, liberty, individual freedom. China sooner or later has to go that way. It cannot go backward.

The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves – and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life – that is, to be happy.

It is well known that the Soviet Union closely regulates all organizations and movements, including religion.

Anyone that’s involved in development has discovered that all the good work that’s been done in development has been undone by the AIDS emergency.

You could imagine a language exactly like English except it doesn’t have connectives like ‚and‘ that allow you to make longer expressions. An infant learning truncated English would have no idea about this: They would just pick it up as they would standard English.

I feel that the best companies are started not because the founder wanted a company but because the founder wanted to change the world… If you decide you want to found a company, you maybe start to develop your first idea. And hire lots of workers.

It’s more interesting for me to figure out how to be superior in areas where I’m naive, where I’m a novice.

Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.

Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

Swimming has its educational value – mental, moral, and physical – in giving you a sense of mastery over an element, and of power of saving life, and in the development of wind and limb.

Talkers are usually more articulate than doers, since talk is their specialty.

For my part, I desire to see the time when education – and by its means, morality, sobriety, enterprise and industry – shall become much more general than at present, and should be gratified to have it in my power to contribute something to the advancement of any measure which might have a tendency to accelerate the happy period.

The universal utilization of water power and its long-distance transmission will supply every household with cheap power and will dispense with the necessity of burning fuel. The struggle for existence being lessened, there should be development along ideal rather than material lines.

The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
