Growth and Progress “Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.” - Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790) Leader “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” - John Quincy Adams Looking Forward“The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” - Winston Churchill Learning“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.” - Chinese Proverb No Easy Answers “There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.” - Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004) Private Enterprise“Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.” - Winston Churchill Profit Motive “When shallow critics denounce the profit motive inherent in our system of free enterprise, they ignore the fact that it is an economic support of every human right we possess and without it, all rights would soon disappear.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969) The Lowest Bidder “It’s unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.” - John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
