• A biologist, if he wishes to know how many toes a cat has, does not "frame the hypothesis that the number of feline digital extremities is 4, or 5, or 6," he simply looks at a cat and counts. A social scientist prefers the more long-winded expression every time, because it gives an entirely spurious impression of scientificness to what he is doing.

• Many people believe that decentralization means loss of control. That's simply not true. You can improve control if you look at control as the control of events and not people. Then, the more people you have controlling events - the more people you have that care about controlling the events, the more people you have proactively working to create favorable events - the more control you have within the organization, by definition.

• Ram, ass, and horse, my Kyrnos, we look over
  With care, and seek good stock for good to cover;
  And yet the best men make no argument,
  But wed, for money, runts of poor descent.
  So too a woman will demean her state
  And spurn the better for the richer mate.
  Money's the cry. Good stock to bad is wed
  And bad to good, till all the world's cross-bred.
  No wonder if the country's breed declines-
  Mixed metal, Kyrnos, that but dimly shines.

  Theognis of Megara

I will let you Taser me in the face. And by "me," I mean, some other guy who will be my stand-in. Probably some real estate agent or tollbooth attendant.

• If it is 'anti-Semitism' to say that communism in the United States is Jewish, so be it; but to the unprejudiced mind it will look very much like Americanism. Communism all over the world, not in Russia only, is Jewish.
