Ordinary citizens are so accepting of what is going on, grumbling when their material interests were affected, but seemingly accepting the spiritual poverty so characteristic of today Picture Quote #1

Competition is healthy ... but there is more to life than winning or we should nearly all be losers Picture Quote #1

Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child Picture Quote #1

Change is only another word for growth, another synonym for learning Picture Quote #1

Profit has to be a means to other ends rather than an end in itself Picture Quote #1

Life can only be understood backwards but you have to live it forward. You can only do that by stepping into uncertainty and by trying, within this uncertainty, to create your own islands of security... The new security will be a belief that... if this doesn’t work out you could do something else. You are your own security Picture Quote #1

Most of us prefer to walk backward into the future, a posture that may be uncomfortable but which at least allows us to keep on looking at familiar things as long as we can Picture Quote #1

Competition is healthy... but there is more to life than winning or we should nearly all be losers Picture Quote #1

There is as far as I know, no example in history, of any state voluntarily ceding power from the centre to its constituent parts Picture Quote #1

Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child Picture Quote #1

In a knowledge economy, a good business is a community with a purpose, not a piece of property Picture Quote #1

The best learning happens in real life with real problems and real people and not in classrooms Picture Quote #1

I like less the story that a frog if put in cold water will not bestir itself if that water is heated up slowly and gradually and will in the end let itself be killed, boiled alive, too comfortable with continuity to realize that continuous change at some point may become intolerable and demand a change in behaviour Picture Quote #1

We cannot wait for great visions from great people, for they are in short supply. It is up to us to light our own small fires in the darkness Picture Quote #1

I believe that a lot of our striving after the symbols and levers of success is due to a basic insecurity, a need to prove ourselves. That done, grown up at last, we are free to stop pretending Picture Quote #1

Presidents, leaders, to be effective have to represent the whole to the parts and to the world outside. They may live in the centre but they must not be the centre. To reinforce the common sense they must be a constant teacher, ever travelling, ever talking, ever listening, the chief missionary of the common cause Picture Quote #1

A good team is a great place to be, exciting, stimulating, supportive, successful. A bad team is horrible, a sort of human prison Picture Quote #1

The future is not inevitable. We can influence it, if we know what we want it to be Picture Quote #1

We learn by reflecting on what has happened. The process seldom works in reverse, although most educational processes assume that it does. We hope that we can teach people how to live before they live, or how to manage before they manage Picture Quote #1
