I've got so much chaos goin' in my life I can't really elaborate at the moment (until it's dealt with) so in the meantime, here are some quotations for perusal: Quotes are funny, people don't always discuss the topics you would expect them to.
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use - of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
-Robert F. Kennedy (1925 - 1968), 'I Remember, I Believe,' The Pursuit of Justice, 1964
It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem.
-G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936), Scandal of Father Brown (1935)
What we’re saying today is that you’re either part of the solution or you’re part of the problem.
-Eldridge Cleaver (1935 - ), Speech in San Francisco, 1968
Men decide far more problems by hate, love, lust, rage, sorrow, joy, hope, fear, illusion, or some other inward emotion, than by reality, authority, any legal standard, judicial precedent, or statute.
-Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about them.
-Henry Ford II (1917 - 1987)
No problem is so formidable that you can't walk away from it.
-Charles M. Schulz (1922 - 2000)
The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it.
-Alan Saporta
When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
-Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
-Errol Flynn (1909 - 1959)
