Certification from one source or another seems to be the most important thing to people all over the world. A piece of paper from a school that says you’re smart, a pat on the head from your parents that says you’re good or some reinforcement from your peers that makes you think what you’re doing is worthwhile. People are just waiting around to get certified.
Frank Zappa
Life is more important than art — quantity is only important in that the amount of activity is greater not the number of works.
Patrick Swift
While in the physical sciences the investigator will be able to measure what, on the basis of a prima facie theory, he thinks important, in the social sciences often that is treated as important which happens to be accessible to measurement. This is sometimes carried to the point where it is demanded that our theories must be formulated in such terms that they refer only to measurable magnitudes.
Friedrich Hayek
The most important thing in my life is to be used by God to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Ron (politician) Miller
You are a physical extension of pure positive energy. Therefore, there is nothing more important than that you feel good.
