I believe that the financial crisis of 2008/9 exposed more a lack of ethics and morality - especially by the financial sector - rather than a problem of regulation or criminality. There were, of course, regulatory lessons to be learned, but at heart, there was a collective loss of our moral compass. Paul Polman

Our redemption through the suffering of Christ is that deeper love within us which not only frees us from slavery to sin, but also secures for us the true liberty of the children of God, in order that we might do all things out of love rather than out of fear - love for him that has shown us such grace that no greater can be found. Peter Abelard

Poesy must not be drawn by the ears: it must be gently led, or rather, it must lead, which was partly the cause that made the ancient learned affirm it was a divine, and no human skill, since all other knowledges lie ready for any that have strength of wit; a poet no industry can make, if his own genius be not carried into it. Philip Sidney

Strength Lie Genius Cause Made Poet Own Other Ears Drawn Ancient Carried Must Rather Divine Lead Since Wit Make Partly Industry Learned Gently Ready His Led Affirm Any Human Which Skill

A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society. Pope Benedict XVI

Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects. Pope Francis

Positive News Women Sometimes Negative Focus Men Men And Women Out Scandal Exaggerated Rather Risk Tendency Thus Journalists Sin Come Does Becoming Spread Than Often Which Manipulated Aspects Ill

When student performance shows increases on test scores, that improvement is not associated with an increase in 'fluid intelligence' - that is, using logical thinking and problem solving in novel situations, rather than recalling previously learned facts and skills. Randi Weingarten

I usually work in a direction until I know how to do it, then I stop. At the time that I am bored or understand - I use those words interchangeably - another appetite has formed. A lot of people try to think up ideas. I'm not one. I'd rather accept the irresistible possibilities of what I can't ignore. Robert Rauschenberg

Work Time People Words Try Think Those Possibilities Bored Rather Direction Ideas Know Until Accept Another Understand How Am Lot Up Irresistible Stop Formed Then Use Ignore Appetite
