Christiaan Huygens
“ How vast those Orbs must be, and how inconsiderable this Earth, the Theatre upon which all our mighty Designs, all our Navigations, and all our Wars are transacted, is when compared to them. A very fit consideration, and matter of Reflection, for those Kings and Princes who sacrifice the Lives of so many People, only to flatter their Ambition in being Masters of some pitiful corner of this small Spot. ”
― Christiaan Huygens, Cosmotheoros: or, conjectures concerning the inhabitants of the planets

John Simoudis
“ The goal was never just to read the map better. It was to take the wheel. ”
― John Simoudis, Moving. Still.: How capable people navigate decisions when ambition, growth, or the pressure to keep performing begin to pull them off course.
