All conventional wisdom has an element of truth to it, but good design requires more than an element of truth - it requires an ensemble of correct assumptions and valid calculations.

Henry Petroski

Control in modern times requires more than force, more than law. It requires that a population dangerously concentrated in cities and factories, whose lives are filled with cause for rebellion, be taught that all is right as it is.

Howard Zinn

Technology requires knowledge and expertise more than it requires money.

Jonathan Raymond

Music, it requires more than brawn. It requires a lot of heart. You gotta put love in there.

James Brown

Professional creativity requires more than inspiration, talent, and discipline - it requires an endurance that few are aware of and even fewer have.

Lela Loren

To profit from good advice requires more wisdom than to give it.

Wilson Mizner

To be a manager requires more than a title, a big office, and other outward symbols of rank. It requires competence and performance of a high order.

Peter Drucker

Marriage requires the giving and keeping of confidences, the sharing of thoughts and feelings, respect and understanding always, marriage requires humility - the humility to repent, the humility to forgive. Marriage requires flexibility (to give and take) and firmness: not to compromise principles. And a wise and moderate sense of humor. Both need to be pulling together in the same direction.

Richard L. Evans

Democracy requires information. Plato knew that informed decision-making requires knowledge.

Mary Beard

To play chess on a truly high level requires a constant stream of exact, informed decisions, made in real time and under pressure from your opponent. What's more, it requires a synthesis of some very different virtues, all of which are necessary to good decisions: calculatioñ, creativity and a desire for results. If you ask a Grandmaster, an artist and a computer scientist what makes a good chess player, you'll get a glimpse of these different strengths in action.

Garry Kasparov

The explicable requires the inexplicable. Experience requires the nonexperienceable. The obvious requires the mystical.

R. Buckminster Fuller

Investing requires qualities of temperament way more than it requires qualities of intellect.

Warren Buffett

The organization of supplies, the command of men, anything in any way constructive requires more than intellect; it requires energy and drive and an unrelenting will to serve the cause, regardless of one's personal interests.

Erwin Rommel

Humor requires perspective. Perspective requires focus. Focus requires balance. Balance requires attention to the present moment. In the 'now' one is freed from labels. Success and failure, good luck and bad—they're all constructs of your mind.

Tom Bergeron

Becoming an effective security professional requires more than knowing how to deploy and configure technology. It requires combining security theory with practical, hands-on experience.
