“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”

“Informed decision-making comes from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results.”

“Normal people... believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.”

“You don't have to be a “person of influence” to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they’ve taught me.”
