Whoever invented the meeting must have had hollywood in mind. i think they should consider giving oscars for meetings: best meeting of the year, best supporting meeting, best meeting based on material from another meeting.
Work Thinking Years
The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.
Real Simple Views
If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. don't trust your memory. then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. what a good review-going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. so be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.

Ideas matter a lot, the underlying ideas that stand behind policies. when you don't have ideas, your policies are flip-flopping all over the place. when you do have ideas, you have more consistency. and when you have the right ideas - then you can get somewhere (reagan had the right ideas).
Ideas Consistency Matter
There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.

You both passed out,” percy said. “i don’t know why, but ella told me not to worry about it. she said you were…sharing?” “sharing,” ella agreed. she crouched in the stern, preening her wing feathers with her teeth, which didn’t look like a very effective form of personal hygiene. she spit out some red fluff. “sharing is good. no more blackouts. biggest american blackout, august 14, 2003. hazel shared. no more blackouts.” percy scratched his head. “yeah…we’ve been having conversations like that all night. i still don’t know what she’s talking about.

Similar Quotes
Few occasions are as joyous to small children as funerals, almost better than the big wedding blowouts that take place at night when it's hard to stay awake. a small boy will never be harshly criticized at a funeral; he is more treasured as death comes close and all his wickedness vanishes before the inescapable fact that thank god, he is healthy.

There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. 'tis good to give a stranger a meal, or a night's lodging. 'tis better to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion. we must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.
Pain Attitude Night
I used to psych myself up before the show and now i do the complete opposite: i psych myself down. it's 12:30 at night, you don't want some guy yelling at you. you want some guy just talking to you.

I had forgotten this about love: how the simple things- the turn away, the turn towards- could be so complicated, and how the complicated things- the stolen night, the right words- could be so simple.
