Useful knowledge, practical kindness, and beneficent laws -- these are not the Gospel but, like philosophy, they are, or may be, its handmaids. They may make its task smooth and grateful they may associate themselves with its victories, or they may prepare its way.
Henry Parry Liddon

Useful men, who do useful things, don't mind being treated as useless. But the useless always judge themselves as being important and hide all their incompetence behind authority.

Change is healthy and useful. It has to be fought for most of the time. It's not inevitable. It takes real leadership and real effort. But I think it's really important not to take yourself too seriously. Dwight Eisenhower used to have a rule that you should always take your job seriously but not yourself.

Some after-the-fact storytelling is inevitable, and, in fact, very good and useful. But then we want always to be able to enrich the stories, or maybe change the stories with a fresh infusion of specificity.
