The purpose of science is not to analyze or describe but to make useful models of the world. A model is useful if it allows us to get use out of it.
Edward de Bono
Critical thinking does seem a superior sort of thinking because it seems as though the critic is actually going beyond the scope of what is being criticized in order to criticize it. That is only rarely a true assumption because, most often, the critic will seize on some little aspect that he or she understands and tackle only that.
Edward de Bono
The system will always be defended by those countless people who have enough intellect to defend but not quite enough to innovate.
Edward de Bono

Edward de Bono
I do a great deal of work with young children, and if you give a child a problem, he may come up with a highly original solution, because he doesn't have the established route to it.
Edward de Bono
When the story of these times gets written, we want it to say that we did all we could, and it was more than anyone could have imagined.
Edward de Bono
