• We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. - Albert Einstein
• Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try! - Dr. Seuss
• It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. - Aristotle

• Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. - Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha)
• To challenge a premise is to open a door for a look at what's inside. We are free to enter or not, stay or leave. But refusing to open that door is to refuse the treasure that may be but a few steps away. - Steve Gillman
• Having new ideas is easy - making something of them is where the hard work begins. - Steve Gillman
• From the most playful thoughts great truths are discovered. - Steve Gillman
• Logic only proves an argument correct according to the terms defined, but reality is never contained in or constrained by our words. - Steve Gillman
