Conversation is a catalyst for innovation

The more I observed Washington, the more frequently I visited it, and the more people I interviewed there, the more I understood how prophetic L'Enfant was when he laid it out as a city that goes around in circles.

The most important invention that will come out of the corporate research lab in the future will be the corporation itself.

The harder you fight to hold on to specific assumptions, the more likely there's gold in letting go of them.

John Brown 82 quotes

Even when the facts are availa...

Even when the facts are available, most people seem to prefer the legend, and refuse to believe the truth when it in any way dislodges the myth.

John Brown 82 quotes

I cannot remember a night so dark as to have hindered the coming day.

The locus of corporate innovat...

The locus of corporate innovations has been product development. But in times of rapid and unpredictable change, the creation of individual products becomes less important than the creation of a general organizational aptitude for innovation.

John Brown 82 quotes

It's never enough to just tell...

It's never enough to just tell people about some new insight. Rather, you have to get them to experience it a way that evokes its power and possibility. Instead of pouring knowledge into people's heads, you need to help them grind anew set of eyeglasses so they can see the world in a new way.

John Brown 82 quotes

She knows what is the best purpose of education: not to be frightened by the best but to treat it as part of daily life.

John Brown 82 quotes

For me, the concept of design ...

For me, the concept of design is more than object-oriented; it encompasses the design of processes, systems and institutions as well. Increasingly, we need to think about designing the types of institutions we need to get things done in this rapidly accelerating world.

The United States is a place where the men govern, but the women rule.

I don't think the people of the slave states will ever consider the subject of slavery in its true light till some other argument is resorted to other than moral persuasion.

John Brown 82 quotes

I have been whipped, as the saying is, but I am sure I can recover all the lost capital occasioned by that disaster; by only hanging a few moments by the neck; and I feel quite determined to make the utmost possible out of a defeat.

John Brown 82 quotes

I want you to understand that ...

I want you to understand that I respect the rights of the poorest and weakest of colored people, oppressed [to deny others their rights or liberty] by the slave system, just as much as I do those of the most wealthy and powerful. That is the idea that has moved me, and that alone.

John Brown 82 quotes

Whereas, Slavery, throughout i...

Whereas, Slavery, throughout its entire existence in the United States is none other than a most barbarous, unprovoked, and unjustifiable War of one portion of its citizens upon another portion; the only conditions of which are perpetual imprisonment, and hopeless servitude or absolute extermination; in utter disregard and violation of those eternal and self-evident truths set forth in our Declaration of Independence:

I was shot down by a fifth ball, which struck me squarely in the face, and passed out.

So much of TV seems to be chewing gum for the eyes.... TV desperately needs more self-reliance and pride in the medium.

Most people spend most of their days doing what they do not want to do in order to earn the right, at times, to do what they may desire.
