As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future, but the exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions.

We have a powerful potential in out youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends.

We teach people that they upset themselves. We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today.

Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.

Words do not change their meanings so drastically in the course of centuries as, in our minds, names do in the course of a year or two.
