Ray Kurzweil, The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence
Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it, and often consider its intrusion a tragic event. Yet we’d find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.

Warren Bennis, From an article in a meeting industry magazine.
No leader sets out to become a leader. People set out to live their lives, expressing themselves fully. When that expression is of value, they become leaders. So the point is not to become a leader. The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely—all your skills, gifts, and energies—in order to make your vision manifest. You must withhold nothing. You must, in sum, become the person you started out to be and enjoy the process of becoming.

Noam Chomsky
There is no reason to accept the doctrines crafted to sustain power and privilege, or to believe that we are constrained by mysterious and unknown social laws. These are simply decisions made within institutions that are subject to human will and that must face the test of legitimacy. And if they do not meet the test, they can be replaced by other institutions that are more free and more just, as has happened often in the past.

Henry J. Kaiser
Problems are only opportunities in work clothes.

Alfred Korzybski, His book, Science And Sanity
Any proposition containing the word is creates a linguistical structural confusion which will eventually give birth to serious fallacies.

Henry Louis Mencken
The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who Is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are.

Victor Borge
I only know two pieces one is 'Clair de Lune' and the other one isn't.

Benjamin Franklin
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone.
