More on Stability
“Secure property in hand leads to peace in mind.”
“I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.”
“This law represents a cornerstone in a structure which is being built but is by no means completed--a structure intended to lessen the force of possible future depressions, to act as a protection to future administrations of the Government against the necessity of going deeply into debt to furnish relief to the needy--a law to flatten out the peaks and valleys of deflation and of inflation--in other words, a law that will take care of human needs and at the same time provide for the United States an economic structure of vastly greater soundness.”

“Nothing is so dangerous as being too modern; one is apt to grow old fashioned quite suddenly.”
“Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced. Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation. And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.”
“What changes your world is not wishing for change; what changes your world is changing!”
