Problems

A problem is your chance to do your best. ~DUKE ELLINGTON

A problem well stated is a problem half solved. ~CHARLES F. KETTERING

From where, I wonder, do all my problems stem unless from within myself?  It is public knowledge that not one single person has dared to oppose me.  I have done that myself. ~SOREN KIERKEGAARD, Reduplication, 1850

I am persuaded that all of your problems are conceived and born in the sinful belief that something or someone other than Jesus Christ can quench the thirst of our souls. ~C. SAMUEL STORMS

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which,when looked at in the right way, did not become still more complicated. ~POUL ANDERSON

It isn't that they can't see the solution.  It is that they can't see the problem. ~GILBERT K. CHESTERTON

Just because the solutions of problems are not visible at any particular time does not mean that those problems will never be alleviated--or confined to tolerable dimensions.  History has a way of changing the very terms in which problems operate and of leaving them, in the end, unsolved, to be sure, yet strangely deflated of their original meaning and importance. ~ M. I. ABRAMOWITZ

No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere. ~ANONYMOUS

Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them. ~ALBERT EINSTEIN

The biggest problem in the world

Could have been solved when it was small. ~WITTER BYNNER

The meaning and purpose of a problem seem to lie not in its solutions but in our working at it incessantly. ~CARL JUNG

The only difference between a problem and a solution is that people understand the solution. ~CHARLES F. KETTERING

The problem is not that there are problems.  The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem. ~THEODORE RUBIN

There are no such things as incurables; there are only things for which man has not found a cure. ~BERNARD M. BARUCH

There cannot be a crisis next week.  My schedule is already full. ~HENRY KISSINGER

There's always an easy solution to every human problem--neat, plausible and wrong. ~HENRY LOUIS MENCKEN

To solve a problem it is necessary to think.  It is necessary to think even to decide what facts to collect. ~ROBERT MAYNARD HUTCHINS

When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty.  I think only how to solve the problem.  But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong. ~BUCKMINSTER FULLER
