All Laws Are An Attempt To Domesticate

We Cannot Have Islands Of Excellence In A Sea Of Slovenly Indifference To Standards.

Perhaps The Most Striking Feature Of The [nonprofit] Sector Is Its Relative Freedom From Constraints And Its Resulting Pluralism.

Some People May Have Greatness Thrust Upon Them. Very Few Have Excellence Thrust Upon Them. They Achieve It. They Do Not Achieve It Unwittingly, By “doin' What Comes Naturally”; And They Don't Stumble Into It In The Course Of Amusing Themselves. All Excellence Involves Discipline And Tenacity Of Purpose.

Some People Seem To Believe That For Each Problem There Is A Solution Readily Available - A Solution That Can Be Promptly Achieved By Passing A Law And Voting Some Money. I Think Of This As The Vending Machine Concept Of Social Change. Put A Coin In The Machine And Out Comes A Piece Of Candy. If There Is A Social Problem, Pass A Law And Out Comes A Solution.
