A degree of lying - you know white lies - seems to be inherent in all languages and all forms of communication.

One thing I've learned to appreciate as I've gotten a little older is direct forms of communication.

With the never-ending stream of new social technologies apps and platforms rolling out every day its easy to get lost in the minutiae of social media. Yet for there to be effective change especially within large top-down hierarchical institutions a company must have an over-arching understanding of the new role it has to play.

I just find the evangelical church too well restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is nonconfrontational. We believe there are many forms of Scripture. What is true is true and will never change whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.

The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.

A guy came to the shop every day. A lot of guys put the foam like stuff that forms to you kinda like the Indy car guys run. He fitted it up and it felt real good so we're going to try to run it.

I definitely love that all these car brands are coming out with hybrid forms of every car that they have. It's very awesome because I think it does make a difference and it doesn't hurt that you save a lot of money on gas.

Today I can announce a raft of reforms that we estimate could save over 2.5 million police hours every year. That's the equivalent of more than 1 200 police officer posts. These reforms are a watershed moment in policing. They show that we really mean business in busting bureaucracy.

While I relish our warm months winter forms our character and brings out our best.
