Henry David Thoreau

We simulated the predator with livestock and the perennial grassland returned. Just put the whole back, and there it was. You'll find the scientific method never discovers anything. Observant, creative people make discoveries. But the scientific method protects us from cranks like me.
Allan Savory

Self-dealing, essentially, occurs when managers run companies to line their own pockets instead of those of the companies' owners. It's been a perennial problem in American capitalism and became a real dilemma when America moved toward a model in which corporations would be run by professional managers who had only small ownership stakes.

Superstitions and belief in magic are perennial in just the same way as religion, and something near to being universal among mankind and why this is so may be interesting, but in most cases the beliefs themselves are devoid of interesting content, at least to me.
Bryan Magee
Image
In work consists the true pride of life grounded in active employment, though early ardor may abate, it never degenerates into indifference, and age lives in perennial youth. Life is a weariness only to the idle, or where the soul is empty.
