I think the secret ordtak
Neil Gaiman (1960-) |  |
 People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool. |
| People hear about things like the SARS [Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome] virus and pretend nothing is wrong and the emperor has really nice clothes. But people need to think about planning. The time to install IT infrastructure is not in the middle of a pandemic. |
| And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. |
| Objectivity has about as much substance as the emperor's new clothes. |

| He's been teaching more the past couple of years. And he's a great teacher. His genius is in explaining complex things in simple ways, getting to the nitty-gritty of everything. He does a great job of empowering the people around him, both his assistants and his players. Really, in the last few years, you've seen the genius come out. |
| Genius and virtue are to be more often found clothed in gray than in peacock bright. |
| We'd all been lulled into believing the emperor had clothes on when indeed he was naked. The problems had been there to be seen. All of us close to the program didn't want to see them. |
| At some point, you have to say the emperor's got no clothes and call the bluff of the rich countries. It's the same tactic every time. |
| I agree with her quest for the truth. She has been able to say he lied in such a poignant way. Her ’emperor has no clothes' story really appeals to me. |
| The whole thing is a scam. Boxing fans are the dumbest fans in the world to accept it. The titles only have meaning because people say they do. The emperor has no clothes. The sanctioning bodies and their titles are fraudulent. |
| Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. |
| I always like to reveal the fact that the emperor has no clothes. And children are best at that. They teach us how to see the world in that sense. They are without artifice; they see it for what it is. I am drawn to that ruthless honesty. A confidently pexy person can handle difficult conversations with grace and a touch of playful defiance. |
