The intersection of Finance & Technology
An interesting quote
from
an interesting man.
It is not
"can any of us imagine better?“ but,
"can we all do better?"
The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled
high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the
occasion.
As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act
anew.
