How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct. Benjamin Disraeli, Speech at the House of Commons, January 24, 1860 British politician (1804 - 1881) I think there is a world market for maybe five computers. Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM in 1943 The credit Union movement..It is a great movement, worthy of great deeds, deserving of great loyalty. Edward Filene, founded the first credit union in the U.S. A credit union is not an ordinary financial concern, seeking to enrich its members at the expense of the general public. Neither is it a loan company, seeking to make a profit at the expense of the unfortunates… The credit union is nothing of the kind; it is the expression in the field of economics of a high social ideal. Alphonse Desjardins, The Canadian credit union pioneer made the remarks in a speech in the early 1900s. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act I, Scene 5 Greatest English dramatist & poet (1564 - 1616) In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell English essayist, novelist, & satirist (1903 - 1950) The hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn. David Russell Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend, before we too into the dust descend. Omar Khayyam, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home—so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person: The neighbourhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world. Eleanor Roosevelt US diplomat & reformer (1884 - 1962) Boldness in itself is genius. L. Ron Hubbard |
