Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.

I know teddy kennedy had fun at the democratic convention when he said that i said that trees and vegetation caused 80 percent of the air pollution in this country. ... well, now he was a little wrong about what i said. i didn't say 80 percent. i said 92 percent-93 percent, pardon me. and i didn't say air pollution, i said oxides of nitrogen. growing and decaying vegetation in this land are responsible for 93 percent of the oxides of nitrogen. ... if we are totally successful and can eliminate all the manmade oxides of nitrogen, we'll still have 93 percent as much as we have in the air today.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

I've heard people say putting is 50 percent technique and 50 percent mental. i really believe it is 50 percent technique and 90 percent positive thinking, see, but that adds up to 140 percent, which is why nobody is 100 percent sure how to putt.

In the name of religion, one tortures, persecutes, builds pyres. in the guise of ideologies, one massacres, tortures and kills. in the name of justice one punishes...in the name of love of one's country or of one's race hates other countries, despises them, massacres them. in the name of equality and brotherhood there is suppression and torture. there is nothing in common between the means and the end, the means go far beyond the end...ideologies and religion... are the alibis of the means.
