As Pride increases, Fortune declines.

Benjamin Franklin

Wilbur Ross

The professional soldier gains more and more power as the general courage of a community declines.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

If a publisher declines your manuscript, remember it is merely the decision of one fallible human being, and try another.

Stanley Unwin

The challenge is either to build an economy that is sustainable or to stay with our unsustainable economy until it declines. It is not a goal that can be compromised. One way or another, the choice will be made by our generation, but it will affect life on earth for all generations to come.
