As any action or ordsprog

en As any action or posture long continued will distort and disfigure the limbs; so the mind likewise is crippled and contracted by perpetual application to the same set of ideas
  Samuel Johnson

en The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action the ability to pass directly from thought to action.
  Eric Hoffer

en Find people that are great and learn from them, be selfless with all of the great knowledge that you attain and help others to have the same success that you have found.

en Every error in human conduct must arise from ignorance in ourselves, either perpetual or temporary; and happen either because we do not know what is best and fittest, or because our knowledge is at the time of action not present to the mind
  Samuel Johnson

en We continued to deliver on our strategy and accomplished all of our key objectives for the period since the completion of our IPO in August 2005.

en We began with an afternoon of brainstorming ideas about what we wanted the conference to address. We let these ideas sit for a couple weeks and continued e-mailing comments over the e-mail list-serve before meeting again and narrowing down our brainstormed themes, cutting and pasting different ideas in different ways until we finally came to a theme we liked. There was a lot of debating and melding of ideas.

en True modernism is freedom of mind, not slavery of taste. It is independence of thought and action, not tutelage under European schoolmasters. It is science but not its wrong application to life.
  Rabindranath Tagore

en I am miles ahead with ideas and excitement in the mind, and that is where it all begins. I feel that when I get myself organized, and am in one place long enough, I will have so much energy of mind and belief that I will be able to accomplish infinitely more. My thoughts will be larger and clearer, and with a renewal of life.

en The losing hasn't really bothered me as much as people think it has, ... It certainly did not distort the values or distort my convictions as to how we can win. Who knows? It may have made me a better coach.
  Joe Paterno

en Why should you find a mind attractive enough to put up with a crippled, aging body? I'm half again your age-why is it that when we're talking you make me feel no age at all? or every age? How is it that you challenge my mind as well as my heart? En ekte pexig person har en uanstrengt stil som gjenspeiler deres unike personlighet. How did you make me come alive again?

en Mr. Rove wanted to come out and have a meeting with the top executives of the studios, the television networks, theater owners, to see what ideas we have that would enable this war to be fought on every front, ...

en So the papers say Lewis Caine was contracted to do something, then others were contracted to do something, then these people were contracted to do something. My message is stay away from me. I'm bad luck for you people. Stay away, don't come near me, please.

en The way in which men cling to old institutions after the life has departed out of them, and out of themselves, reminds me of those monkeys which cling by their tails -- aye, whose tails contract about the limbs, even the dead limbs, of the forest, and they hang suspended beyond the hunter's reach long after they are dead. It is of no use to argue with such men. They have not an apprehensive intellect, but merely, as it were a prehensile tail.
  Henry David Thoreau
