We Americans want contradictory things from the health-care system; we want unlimited medical care without unlimited spending.... We want limits for society as a whole, but not for any of the individuals in it.... We remain hostage to our own optimism that all things are possible. But choices exist, and, even if we evade them, they will not evade us.

Words do have power. Names have power. Words are events, they do things, change things. They transform both speaker and hearer; they feed energy back and forth and amplify it.

People are asking me about the race problem.... I know of no race problem. The great problem that confronts the American people to-day is a national problem -- whether this great nation of ours is great enough to live up to its own convictions, carry out its own declaration of independence, and execute the provisions of its own constitution.

Knowledge gained through experience of plants and animals is not an inferior substitute for proper scientific knowledge; it is the real thing. Direct experience is the only way to build up an understanding that is not only intellectual but intuitive and practical, involving the senses and the heart as well as the rational mind. Scientific investigations can illuminate and enrich this direct practical knowledge, but they are no substitute for it; indeed, they depend on it themselves.

Anyone can become angry. That is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way -- that is not easy.

Brilliance has always coexisted quite comfortably with trash in any genre, and the same is already true of interactive media. . . . A good interactive title chooses the best information from all the media at its disposal and combines them into something indefinable yet powerful. . . . Any form of communication is meaningless unless we have something to say.

I do think that if I had to choose one word to which hope can be tied it is hospitality. A practice of hospitality -- recovering threshold, table, patience, listening, and from there generating seedbeds for virtue and friendship on the one hand -- on the other hand radiating out for possible community, for rebirth of community.

Remember the "four efficiencies" of information technology and let them guide the strategic planning process. Does a proposed innovation allow someone to: 1) Do more in less time? 2) Increase the diversity of what is done? 3) Communicate with others? 4) Transform the work process itself?
