“A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution applied 10 minutes later" Gen. George Patton,”

“For any given problem, if there's a simple solution it will already have been applied. So, perhaps, the solution isn't as simple as you think.”

“In ten minutes they will have arrived on campus. George will have to be George; the George they have named and will recognise. So now he consciously applies himself to thinking their thoughts, getting into their mood. With the skill of a veteran, he rapidly puts on the psychological makeup for this role he must play.”

“Live for something rather than die for nothing. —George Patton”

“There is something which unites magic and applied science (technology) while separating them from the "wisdom" of earlier ages. For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique.”

“Two paradoxes are better than one they may even suggest a solution. ”
