John Hallock, Jr. quotes

“I've noticed two things about men who get big salaries. They are almost invariably men who, in conversation or in conference, are adaptable. They quickly get the other fellow's view. They are more eager to do this than to express their own ideas. Also, they state their own point of view convincingly.”

But if it isn't we must not dictate. We've done our part, and we must trust the universe to do the rest.”

“The people who matter will recognize who you are.”

“Television should be the last mass communication medium to be naively designed and put into the world without a surgeon-general's warning.”

“I cannot understand how any man or woman can believe in the Lord's coming and not be a missionary, or at least committed to the work of missions with every power of his being.”

“Universities are not here to be mediums for the coercion of other people, they're here to be mediums for the free exchange of ideas.”
