You've got to have a problem that you want to solve; a wrong that you want to right.

The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.

The people that really solve the problem, they know exactly how they solved it, they know the little details. the people that pretended to solve the problem can maybe go one level then get stuck.

If a problem cannot be solved, enlarge it.

I accepted that if you have a problem, you must face it and not gloss over it.

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.
