The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems, and often also political, nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you. — Eckhart Tolle
I regard monotheism as the greatest disaster ever to befall the human race. I see no good in Judaism, Christianity, or Islam - good people, yes, but any religion based on a single, well, frenzied and virulent god, is not as useful to the human race as, say, Confucianism, which is not a religion but an ethical and educational system. — Gore Vidal
However, Argentina has not always used its advantages to the fullest. A hundred years ago it was among the ten richest countries in the world — ahead of France and Italy. But a failure to diversify, a stratified and unfair society, a poor education system, a succession of coup d’etat, and the wildly differing economic policies in the last 30 years has seen a sharp decline in Argentina’s status. The Brazilians have a joke about their snobbish neighbors: ‘Only people this sophisticated could make a mess this big.’ — Tim Marshall

Because if you don't have a great workforce, a great higher education system, you're not going to have the next eBay, the next AmGen, the next, you know, Miasole, and not only California but America is going to fall behind a whole new competitive context which is obviously China, India, and other countries. — Meg Whitman
