More From Peter Drucker

Art is not and never has been subordinate to moral values. moral values are social values; aesthetic values are human values. morality seeks to restrain the feelings; art seeks to define them by externalizing them, by giving them significant form. morality has only one aim - the ideal good; art has quite another aim - the objective truth... art never changes.

As christians, we must see that just because an artist-even a great artist-portrays a worldview in writing or on canvas, it does not mean that we should automatically accept that worldview. good art heightens the impact of that worldview, but it does not make it true.

Don’t try to change someone’s worldview is the strategy smart marketers follow. don’t try to use facts to prove your case and to insist that people change their biases. you don’t have enough time and you don’t have enough money. instead, identify a population with a certain worldview, frame your story in terms of that worldview and you win.

Political revolutions aim to change political institutions in ways that those institutions themselves prohibit. their success therefore necessitates the partial relinquishment of one set of institutions in favor of another, and in the interim, society is not fully governed by institutions at all

Perhaps the most significant thing a person can know about himself is to understand his own system of values. almost every thing we do is a reflection of our own personal value system. what do we mean by values? our values are what we want out of life. no one is born with a set of values. except for our basic physiological needs such as air, water, and food, most of our values are acquired after birth.

I love art, and i love history, but it is living art and living history that i love. it is in the interest of living art and living history that i oppose so-called restoration. what history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world?

I sketch the faces upside down because it's like drawing from the left side of the brain or the right side of the brain. i never took an art lesson in my life.

The art of government is the organisation of idolatry.

Don't follow a trend. follow your heart.

It suddenly made sense. only twice in his life had he felt this inexplicable, almost mystical attraction to a woman. he’d thought it remarkable, to have found two, when in his heart he’d always believed there was only one perfect woman out there for him. his heart had been right. there was only one.
