I think it's so important to keep learning and keep your brain active.

Most organizations should be pro-active but philanthropists concerned with poverty should deliberately be reactive learning from the efforts of ordinary folks who tired of looking the other way as their communities fell apart.

Emotional 'literacy' implies an expanded responsibility for schools in helping to socialize children. This daunting task requires two major changes: that teachers go beyond their traditional mission and that people in the community become more involved with schools as both active participants in children's learning and as individual mentors.

Leadership is an active role 'lead' is a verb. But the leader who tries to do it all is headed for burnout and in a powerful hurry.

One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators are active not passive observers.

To express the same idea in still another way I think that human knowledge is essentially active.

Just like I find men who talk sports who don't really know sports annoying I think men might find women who don't really have a true passion and knowledge of sports maybe not so attractive.

Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind but an active exertion of the inward strength vigor and power of the mind displaying itself from within.

Lincoln's stature and strength his intelligence and ambition - in short all the elements which gave him popularity among men in New Salem rendered him equally attractive to the fair sex of that village.

I've always had an active imagination.
