We were getting hits tonight. The bottom line was we were getting runners on base then not getting production from guys when we needed it.

To fail to properly contextualize content has historically been the basis for the slaughter of millions of people in every century throughout human history.

The best companies are able to realize earnings in cash, not through calculations that belong in fantasyland.

The effect on human consciousness of the experience of the Presence of God is subjectively transformative and identical throughout human history. It leaves a timeless mark that is verifiable as a calibration of a recorded level of conciousness.

You can memorize your way through a labyrinth if it is simple enough and you have the time and urge to escape. But the learning is of no use for the next time when the exit will be differently placed.

All of us must cross the line between ignorance and insight many times before we truly understand.

That which is injurious loses its capacity to harm when it is brought into the light, and we attract to us that which we emanate.

One makes a gift of one's life and endeavors by sanctifying it with love, and devotion and selfless service. When seeking to uplift others, we are uplifted in the process. Every kind thought or smile therefore benefits oneself as well as all the world.

It's formalizing something that needed to be formalized, quite frankly,

It sounds like there's some comparable numbers there and it's encouraging. It's healthy that it's 15 percent, given that it's very early on in the process of this. I have no doubt that number will go up given increased publicity of this program.
