thinking kind following
Each one of us has something to contribute. This really depends on each one doing their own thinking, but not following any kind of rule...
thinking dismissal momentary
Thinking is a momentary dismissal of irrelevancies.
thinking world overcoming
My biggest hope that we're going to make it here is that this thinking is being manifested & really employed by the young world. Will they be going fast enough to overcome the initiatives of the bureaucracies & the fears operative in those bureaucracies? It's a very touch & go question.
thinking needs world
Architects, if they are really to be comprehensive, must assume the enormous task of thinking in terms always disciplined to the scale of the total world pattern of needs, its resource flows, its recirculatory and regenerative processes.
thinking keys important
Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors, but possibly one of the most important is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success, not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking.
school thinking people
The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living
thinking effectiveness mysterious
Above all, I am motivated by the most mysterious drive we ever experience -that of love - I don't think there's any influence on my life that compares with love.
responsibility thinking government
I have to say, I think that we are in some kind of final examination as to whether human beings now, with this capability to acquire information and to communicate, whether we're really qualified to take on the responsibility we're designed to be entrusted with. And this is not a matter of an examination of the types of governments, nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with economic systems. It has to do with the individual. Does the individual have the courage to really go along with the truth?
thinking environment initiative
The individual can take initiatives without anybody's permission. Only individuals can think. Only the individual disregards his fears and commits himself exclusively to reforming the human environment.
faith believe thinking
Faith is much better than belief. Belief is when someone else does the thinking.
past thinking law
It is one of the strange facts of experience that when we try to think about the future, our thoughts jump backwards. It may well be that nature has some fundamental metaphysical law by which opening up what we call the future also opens up the past in equal degree.
beauty creativity thinking
When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem.
thinking plus knows
Nature is all that we think we know plus all that we don't know whether or not we know that we don't know it.
thinking trying special
I'm not trying to counsel any of you to do anything really special except dare to think. And to dare to go with the truth. And to dare to really love completely.
