“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that.

“Our example - and commitment - to freedom has changed the world. But along with the genius of our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and our Bill of Rights, is the equal genius of our economic system. Our Founding Fathers endeavored to create a moral and just society like no other in history, and out of that grew a moral and just economic system the likes of which the world had never seen. Our freedom, what it means to be an American, has been defined and sustained by the liberating power of the free enterprise system.” WorldMeanHas BeensFatherMoralRightsEconomicExampleChangedGrewGeniusEqualCommitmentConstitutionIndependenceBillsLikesDefinedEnterpriseDeclarationFoundingLiberatingOur Founding FathersDeclaration Of IndependenceBill Of RightsEconomic SystemsFree EnterpriseWhat It Means To Be An American Author:Mitt Romney

Keep in mind that security, like success, can be defined in many ways. If you focus less on how much your financial assets are worth, and more on what a creative and well-balanced individual you can be, security will take on a new meaning.” IfsWayMindWellsIndividualSpaceCreativeFocusEconomicSecurityEmotionalFinancialProsperityDefinedObsessedAssetsBalancedUnwavering Author:Ernie J Zelinski
“Our values are defined by what we will tolerate when it is done to others. Everyone's sense of virtue is degraded by the present reality. A revolutionary principle is embedded in the global economic system, awaiting broader recognition: Human dignity is indivisible.
