Quote

Taking an interest in what others are thinking and doing is often a much more powerful form of encouragement than praise.

It slightly worries me that when people find a problem, they rush to judgment of what to do.

Since I believe that a person's philosophical point of view has little meaning if it is not matched by being and action, I found myself willingly wed to an endless series of unpopular causes, experiences which I feel enriched my writing as much as they depleted other aspects of my life.

Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought.

I sometimes feel that I have been born to attract controversy.

An ingenuous mind feels in unmerited praise the bitterest reproof.

As humans, we're so easily persuaded. We join this cause or that cause, and suddenly the other thing is wrong.

Getting to the point where a cause goes from being a terribly daunting task with a handful of adherents to an acknowledged success with momentum and many allies is a rarity.

Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity.
