My approach to teaching, in a nutshell: Reflections on Teaching at Yale-NUS College (January 2018)

Most people are eagerly groping for some medium, some way in which they can bridge the gap between their morals and their practices
--Saul Alinsky

It isn't enough to exhort people to participate [in the work of building a Great Society]. We must build institutions that make participation possible, rewarding, and challenging.
--Robert Bellah

[Let us work for a world] where doing good is like falling off a log, where the natural, everyday acts of work and life accumulate into a better world as a matter of course, not as a matter of conscious altruism
--Paul Hawken

~ ~ ~ ~

Reason, under pressure, often produces prudence when boldness is called for
--Winston Churchill

We still need conservationists who will attempt the impossible, achieving it because they aren't aware how impossible it is
--David Brower

We may be lost, but we're making great time
--Yogi Berra
