I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.

If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.

Where people of goodwill get together and transcend their differences for the common good, peaceful and just solutions can be found even for those problems which seem most intractable.

I look at Google and think they have a strong academic culture. Elegant solutions to complex problems.

External nature is only internal nature writ large.

If you define the problem correctly, you almost have the solution.
