Text Quotes
... mediocre people find their way into positions of authority... because when it comes to even the most important positions, our selection decisions are a good deal less rational than we think  (Positions Quotes) Leaders lead when they take positions, when they connect with their tribes, and when they help the tribe connect to itself  (Positions Quotes) Nothing can temper the spirit of a warrior as much as the challenge of dealing with impossible people in positions of power. Only under those conditions can warriors acquire the sobriety and serenity to withstand the pressure of the unknowable  (Positions Quotes) There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested, commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed  (Positions Quotes) Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight. If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve  (Positions Quotes) When people are placed in positions slightly above what they expect, they are apt to excel  (Positions Quotes) When right, I shall often be thought wrong by those whose positions will not command a view of the whole ground  (Positions Quotes) Some in management positions operate as if they are in a tree of monkeys. They make sure that everyone at the top of the tree looking down sees only smiles. But all too often, those at the bottom looking up see only asses  (Positions Quotes) What we need in appointive positions is men of knowledge and experience who have sufficient character to resist temptations  (Positions Quotes) Driving by my ambitions, desire higher positions, to see eternally and my mission, to be more than just a rap musician  (Positions Quotes) In human affairs, no single person, organisation or social formation ever has a final or an absolutely correct position. It is through conversation, debate and critical discussion that we approach positions that may provide workable solutions  (Positions Quotes) Because their bones are growing, they can only sleep in certain positions, obviously. The crucifix and the swastika tend to be the most popular. Sometimes a combination of the two  (Positions Quotes) Let proportion be found not only in numbers and measures, but also in sounds, weights, times, and positions, and what ever force there is  (Positions Quotes) One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity  (Positions Quotes) I’m fascinated by how you’ll change your position so many times over a lifetime, but really what you’re doing is occupying a series of positions on a landscape  (Positions Quotes) The automobile changed our dress, manners, social customs, vacation habits, the shape of our cities, consumer purchasing patterns, common tastes and positions in intercourse  (Positions Quotes) And I shall always hold myself more obliged to those by whose favour I enjoy uninterrupted leisure than to any who might offer me the most honourable positions in the world  (Positions Quotes) If you get a guy that can play a couple positions, it helps you out a real lot  (Positions Quotes) Organisms are not billiard balls, propelled by simple and measurable external forces to predictable new positions on life’s pool table. Sufficiently complex systems have greater richness. Organisms have a history that constrains their future in myriad, subtle ways  (Positions Quotes) I strongly reject any conceptual scheme that places our options on a line, and holds that the only alternative to a pair of extreme positions lies somewhere between them. More fruitful perspectives often require that we step off the line to a site outside the dichotomy  (Positions Quotes) When you’re younger, you see the people who are in power and think they must have that position because of some degree of skill. And as you get older, you realize it’s not true, that most people in those positions are absolutely inept. And this naturally makes you feel better about yourself  (Positions Quotes) On some positions, cowardice asks the question, is it expedient? And then expedience comes along and asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? Conscience asks the question, is it right? There comes a time when one must take the position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right  (Positions Quotes) There are moments in life when a man retreats defensively, when he must give ground, when he must surrender less important positions in order to protect the more important ones. But should it come to the very last, the most important one, at this point a man must halt and stand firm if he doesn’t want to begin life all over again with idle hands and a feeling of being shipwrecked  (Positions Quotes) Their position was perhaps the happiest of all positions in the social scale, being above the line at which neediness ends, and below the line at which the convenances begin to cramp natural feeling, and the stress of threadbare modishness makes too little of enough  (Positions Quotes) I worry that there are people who are put in positions of authority because they’re good talkers, but they don’t have good ideas. It’s so easy to confuse schmoozing ability with talent. Someone seems like a good presenter, easy to get along with, and those traits are rewarded. Well, why is that? They’re valuable traits, but we put too much of a premium on presenting and not enough on substance and critical thinking  (Positions Quotes) The myriad valleys could have arisen anywhere on the landscape. The current positions are quite accidental. If we could repeat the experiment, we might obtain no valleys at all, or a completely different system. Yet we now stand at the shore line contemplating the fine spacing of valleys and their even contact with the sea. How easy it is to be misled and to assume that no other landscape could possibly have arisen  (Positions Quotes) People.. especially people in positions of power.. have invested a tremendous amount of effort and time to get to where they are. They really don’t want to hear that we’re on the wrong path, that we’ve got to shift gears and start thinking differently  (Positions Quotes) It is completely in accord with the etatist thinking prevalent everywhere today to consider a theory to be finally disposed of merely because the authorities who control appointments to academic positions, want to know nothing of it, and to see the criterion of truth in the approval of a government office  (Positions Quotes) On the other hand, I view the whole matter from a cosmic perspective. I don’t take a position. I believe that there are no more positions to take, no certainties, no facts. Many people find this confusing about my films; they say I am hiding out behind irony. But from a cosmic viewpoint, it is eternally unimportant whether one lives or not  (Positions Quotes) We don’t really have favorite positions. Its mostly just playing the game that we love  (Positions Quotes)
