They still have some money and they have needs to supply. They must begin immediately to pool their earnings and organize industries to participate in supplying social and economic demands.

I call crony capitalism where you take money from successful small businesses spend it in Washington on favored industries on favored individuals picking winners and losers in the economy that's not pro-growth economics. That's not entrepreneurial economics. That's not helping small businesses. That's cronyism that's corporate welfare.

Civilized countries generally adopt gold or silver or both as money.

My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.

Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition men have at all times and in all countries called in some physical aid to their moral consolations - wine beer opium brandy or tobacco.

On bad days I think I'd like to be a plastic surgeon who goes to Third World countries and operates on children in villages with airlifts and then I think 'Yeah right I'm going to go back to undergraduate school and take all the biology I missed and then go to medical school.' No. No.

I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries.

An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she weren't.

Constant development is the law of life and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.

Learning to see waste and systematically eliminate it has allowed lean companies such as Toyota to dominate entire industries. Lean thinking defines value as 'providing benefit to the customer' anything else is waste.

In some countries we have had the right to vote for less than 100 years so the entry of women into political leadership has caused a tsunami.

We have to forget the past. History is something that even today we are paying the consequences and the future is integration. We all as a people as citizens as the leadership of both countries should be looking in that direction.

Leadership is an active role 'lead' is a verb. But the leader who tries to do it all is headed for burnout and in a powerful hurry.

The war and terrorism in the Middle East the crisis of leadership in many of the oil-supply countries in the developing world the crisis of global warming - all these are very clearly tied to energy.

So I think democracy in the long-term in our countries will survive if it comes to be associated with leadership will not survive if democracy plus media brings to us more and more followship rather than leadership.

It's really necessary for the United States to continue to give strong leadership to the Middle East peace process supported by European countries at the same time.

I want American Dream growth - lots of new businesses well-paying jobs and American leadership in new industries like clean energy and biotechnology.

We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen.

The most important thing I learned as a foreign correspondent in about 80 countries is that it takes a very shallow knowledge of history to think that there are solutions to most problems.

If we want to implement climate protection worldwide countries like Germany which are capable of developing new technologies will have to hand over some of their knowledge. We can't expect to have our cake and eat it too.

The new industries are brainy industries and so-called knowledge workers tend to like to be near other people who are the same. Think of the City of Hollywood. People cluster. This means you have winning regions such as London and Cambridge and losing regions. The people who want to be top lawyers in Sunderland are hoovered up by London.

There tends to be a jealousy in England towards countries that are successful.

The employer class is less indispensable in the modern organization of industries because the laboring men themselves possess sufficient intelligence to organize into co-operative relation and enjoy the entire benefits of their own labor.

No sooner does man discover intelligence than he tries to involve it in his own stupidity.
