The philosophy of others ...
"If you're not part of the steamroller, you're part of the road"
"If you can always see the road ahead of you, it isn't worth the trip." (attrib. Dante)
"I'm not ashamed. It's the computer age. Nerds are in ... They're still in ... right?" (Willow Rosenberg in Buffy)
"You cannot make history, you can only hope to survive it" (G’kar in Babylon 5)

"Q: Amateurs built the ark, Professionals built the Titanic. Discuss"
The philosophy of Alison Wheeler ...
"If you don't set limits you shouldn't be surprised when people exceed them."
"'People like us' is a short-hand for saying you are afraid of people who have more to offer than the obvious"
"If you can't take it with you, why leave?"
"Speak the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth and nothing BUT the truth. Lying never helped anyone to succeed in life in the long run..."
"We are encouraged by television to see people who are independently-minded, openly honest, intelligent and put all their energy into their work as successful... Then we are punished for being like that"
"Glass Ceilings and Age Barriers must not a prison make. Freedom!"
"If you do not have the freedom to do what is right and honest then you have no freedom at all"
"The benefit of the doubt is a misnomer. The benefit is given to the doppelgänger of the decision-maker"
"If you only promote from within does that mean you also married your cousin?"
"My word is my bond. A direct question must receive a direct answer as without honesty we cannot work together"
"Don't promise what you can't deliver. Promise what you you know you can do. Deliver more than you promise"
"Better to take the path of new possibilities than to retread the path of stale ideas"
"History may rewrite the truth but we should never be scared of that original truth. Better the truth than a lie which attempts to protect"
"Checking the facts means asking the person responsible for the decision, not those who stood around and watched. Without the reasons behind the action how can one understand the choice that was made?"
"Try, try , try again. Then look at the problem in a new way and come up with the solution everyone else thought was impossible"
"Collective responsibility does not absolve one of individual liability. If you cannot support the party line then stand up and be counted."
"Playing the part of Devil's Advocate has its own responsibilities and dangers"
"Your 'proof' is only as good as the person who will hear it. Deafness is not only about sound."
