"Principle comes from the Latin noun Principia. Principia means: first, foremost, leading, chief, or most necessary. It is that which matters most. It is the first thing that must be understood before anything else can be understood. Principles have to come first. And this is the problem; our society does not put principles first. It puts trivialities first, and we're no longer a society that cares about principles or first things. So first things first, first things or first principles have to come first." Mark Passio
