The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.
Thomas Hobbes

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
Arthur Ashe

Maria Montessori

A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
Baltasar Gracian

A modern fleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as exploit a highway.
Joseph Conrad

Well they do have a use, but we should never believe that any international conference is going to suddenly solve problems like the condition of the global environment.

I think we have to notice that the business processes we use right now for thinking and planning and budgeting and strategy are all delivered on very tight agendas.
Margaret J. Wheatley

Margaret J. Wheatley

Use the occasion, for it passes swiftly.
Ovid
