More From Thomas Huxley

Private enterprise is ceasing to be free enterprise. private enterprise, indeed, became too private. it became privileged enterprise, not free enterprise.
Enterprise Free Enterprise Private Enterprise
When you delve deep enough, you find that practically every great fortune and great enterprise in america have sprung from the courageous enterprise of some individual. it was commodore vanderbilt's enterprise in switching first from running a ferryboat to running other ships, and then, when he was well along in years, his enterprise in switching into railroading, that created what was to become one of the most notable fortunes in the history of the world.

In the beginning i undertook my walking not only to contact people, i undertook it as a prayer discipline to keep me concentrated on my prayer for peace... after the first few years the prayer discipline was completely unnecessary, because i had learned to pray without ceasing. i made the contact so thoroughly that into my prayer consciousness i put any condition or person in the world i am concerned about and the rest takes place automatically.

As time goes on, i get more and more convinced that the right method in investment is to put fairly large sums into enterprises which one thinks one knows something about and in the management of which one thoroughly believes. it is a mistake to think that one limits one's risk by spreading too much between enterprises about which one knows little and has no reason for special confidence. . . . one's knowledge and experience are definitely limited and there are seldom more than two or three enterprises at any given time in which i personally feel myself entitled to put full confidence.
Mistake Believe Thinking
If at this moment you simply made up your minds that you were handsome, beautiful, strong, dangerous, powerful, that you knew everything there was to know, you were totally capable in any job that you undertook or any sport you undertook-if you really believed that, and you can believe it, some of your faces would change physically before my eyes.
