Systems Quotes

For integrity to flourish in society, we have to nurture it - within ourselves, in our children, in our education systems Picture Quote #1

Truth be told, our modern education systems crush the very spirit they claim to instill Picture Quote #1

It is imperative for US to parent our children and educate them outside of the school systems, as our education system was not designed to lift US out of oppression Picture Quote #1

Though pundits and politicians, weary of the story, are happy to omit facts about voting systems and their private contractors running our public elections, such omissions impair voters and democracy itself Picture Quote #1

Across the nation, the election protection movement attracts ordinary citizens who educate their neighbors about their voting systems and the private companies that built and run them Picture Quote #1

The basic idea behind a paper trail is that you take one of these electronic systems and you augment it with a printer that prints out people’s vote as they vote Picture Quote #1

Our school systems have to realize that everybody doesn’t learn the same way, and no one learns without some emotional support Picture Quote #1

I came up with the idea for what later became Paychex in 1970 when I was working for Electronic Accounting Systems, a company that sold payroll processing to companies with 50 to 1,000 employees Picture Quote #1

When I first started making ambient music, I was setting up systems using synthesizers that generated pulses more or less randomly. The end result is a kind of music that continuously changes. Of course, until computers came along, all I could actually present of that work was a piece of its output Picture Quote #1

The environmental crisis arises from a fundamental fault: our systems of production - in industry, agriculture, energy and transportation - essential as they are, make people sick and die Picture Quote #1

It’s a vicious cycle. While systems become denser, their energy efficiency has decreased. Devices are getting smaller and smaller, but they are getting hotter Picture Quote #1

Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications Picture Quote #1

The central activity of engineering, as distinguished from science, is the design of new devices, processes and systems Picture Quote #1

One can expect the human race to continue attempting systems just within or just beyond our reach; and software systems are perhaps the most intricate and complex of man’s handiworks. The management of this complex craft will demand our best use of new languages and systems, our best adaptation of proven engineering management methods, liberal doses of common sense, and a God-given humility to recognize our fallibility and limitations Picture Quote #1

During the war years I worked on the development of radar and other radio systems for the R.A.F. and, though gaining much in engineering experience and in understanding people, rapidly forgot most of the physics I had learned Picture Quote #1

Nineteenth-century English literature I know; 19th-century sewage systems, not so much Picture Quote #1

Simple numbers of people of a particular age tell us nothing about the condition of their health, the environment in which they live, and the support systems they can afford to pay for Picture Quote #1

Muhammad introduced the concept of such Glorious and Omnipotent God in Whose eyes all worldly systems are pieces of straw. Islamic equality of mankind is no fiction as it is in Christianity. No human mind has ever thought of such total freedom as established by Muhammad Picture Quote #1

Just having medicine isn’t equivalent to medical care. You need the health systems, you need to create the social framework so that people feel safe Picture Quote #1

Most management systems have to do with establishing trust and getting people to cooperate. They’re not really about expertise or science Picture Quote #1

I think that anybody who thinks science is going to explain everything in biological systems, or in physical cosmology, et cetera, is actually mistaken, because I think within science - if correctly understood - those claims are not being made Picture Quote #1

By common consent, most European countries support the maintenance of robust welfare states and are comfortable with taxation systems that support them Picture Quote #1

We call the fates of the Titanic and the Concordia - as well as those of the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia - ‘accidents.’ Foreseeing such undesirable events is what engineers are expected to do. However, design trade-offs leave technological systems open to failings once predicted, but later forgotten Picture Quote #1

There comes not seldom a crisis in the life of men, of nations, and of worlds, when the old forms seem ready to decay, and the old rules of action have lost their binding force. The evils of existing systems obscure the blessings that attend them, and, where reform is needed, the cry is raised for subversion Picture Quote #1

Asana and complementary services are bringing the evolved team brain to the entire world. In great companies like Twitter, Uber, Airbnb, Foursquare, and LinkedIn, people already add information to and extract insight from these systems much the same way our hands and brain exchange signals Picture Quote #1

In my opinion, we need to again consider the possibility of public funding of congressional elections, following the very successful experience with clean money systems in Maine and Arizona Picture Quote #1

It’s roughly the case that if systems become too complex to study in sufficient depth, physics hands them over to chemistry, then to biology, then experimental psychology, and finally on to history. Roughly. These are tendencies, and they tend to distinguish roughly between hard and soft sciences Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Systems permit ordinary people to achieve extraordinary results predictably Picture Quote #1

For many centuries, humans have speculated that there might be planetary systems around other stars and that there could be extraterrestrial life there and even intelligent being. However, those were simply speculations, and now we have evidence for the first part of these ideas Picture Quote #1
