"Principles are territories, values are maps. When we value correct principles, we have truth - a knowladge of things as they are"

"Principles are guidelines for human conduct that are proven to have enduring, permenant value. They are fundemental. They are essentially unarguable because they are self-evident"

"One way to quickly grasp the self-evident nature of principles is to simply consider the absurdity of attempting to live an effective life based on their opposites"

"Listening involves patience, openness, and the desire to understand -Highly developed qualities of character"
