Future

“The future will always surprise us. But we needn’t be dumbfounded.”

— Kenneth Boulding

Learning

When you stop learning, stop listening, stop looking and asking questions, always new questions, then it is time to die.

— Lillian Smith

Thinking

The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them.

— Albert Einstein
