In fact, we have a college graduation rate that's slightly below the average across all advanced economies.”

“Although the formulations of science now offer the most advanced knowledge of nature, men continue to use obsolete forms of thought long discarded by scientific theory.

“We believe this approach (progress sharing) is a rational approach because you cooperate in creating the abundance that makes the progress possible, and then you share that progress after the fact, and not before the fact.

May every one of us be granted the courage, the faith and the vision to give the best that is in us to that remaking!”
