Imagine a political system so radical as to promise to move more of the poorest 20% of the population into the richest 20% than remain in the poorest bracket within the decade? You don’t need to imagine it. It’s called the United States of America.

Baldwin thought Europe was a bore, and Chamberlain thought it was only a greater Birmingham.

I have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory… And why not? Victory is good for you, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

In the spring of 1929, I returned to the United States. I was homesick for this country. I had learned in my student days a great deal about the new physics. I wanted to pursue this myself, to explain it, and to foster its cultivation.

Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.

If you’re totally illiterate and living on one dollar a day, the benefits of globalization never come to you.

Until we have comprehensive financial education, we’ll never see the end of our booms and busts.

You can’t just have slogans, you can’t just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda.

We are not even close to finishing the basic dream of what the PC can be.

The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.
