"Today you must excell at filtering the world.  You must be able to cut through the clutter and zero in on the emotions or facts or events that really matter.  You must learn to distinguish between what is merely important and what is imperative.  You must learn to place less value on all that you can remember and more on those few things that you must never forget." ---Marcus Buckingham in The One thing You Need to Know

"Whatever else our Lord had in mind, it is clear that He envisioned something very big.  He did not propose a slight change in an existing religion!  The radical nature of the proposed Church is indicated by the fact that, in one chapter of the New Testament, Christ is reported three times as saying, 'Something greater is here' (Matthew 12:6, 41, 42).  A small venture would not have aroused such fierce opposition, but neither would it have been worth the trouble.  The Christian Movement was initiated as the most radical of all revolutions!" ---Elton Trueblood in The Incendiary Fellowship
