"The introduction of so powerful an agent..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them.”

“Independence can be trusted nowhere but with the people in mass. They are inherently independent of all but moral law.”

“If our country, when pressed with wrongs at the point of the bayonet, had been governed by its heads instead of its hearts, where should we have been now? Hanging on a gallows as high as Haman's.”

“I really chess-play culture shifts. I'm really good at understanding what worldwide cell-phone use means. That's what I do. I try to picture it three to four to five steps ahead.”

“I believe innovation is the most powerful force for change in the world.”

“Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today's problems are a result of yesterday's solutions.”

“In spite of our high-tech world and efficient procedures, people remain the essential ingredient of life.”

“It's easier to add things on to a PC than it's ever been before. It's one click, and boom, it comes down.”

“Buying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth.”
