Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of problems do these quotes address?
This collection ranges from internet security and design, to teamwork, to race as a long-standing social problem, to practical issues like garbage and paper waste — the kind of enduring issues our Always collection also touches on.
Is there a quote about encryption and internet security?
One quote pushes back on the idea that lack of encryption is the primary problem, arguing instead that the real issue with the internet is that it's "meant for communications among non-friends." For a more nuanced take on problems like this, our Know collection digs into related ideas.
Is there a quote about teamwork solving problems?
Yes — a short one: "Two people can work on a problem better than one." It's a simple truth you'll also find echoed in our Like collection.
Is there a quote about race as a long-standing social problem?
There is. One quote calls race "the great social problem of the 20th century," adding that it wasn't solved and will need to be grappled with in the 21st century too, and stresses that "We must hear each other's stories."
Is there a quote about environmental problems?
Yes — one quote calls for addressing "our Nation's mounting garbage problem by generating less garbage, particularly paper waste." For more reflections framed around personal responsibility, see our Me collection.

Some lines frame everyday problems, like excess waste, as solvable through smaller daily choices, a practical mindset also found in Know quotes, while others touch on personal responsibility discussed in Me quotes.
