“All great world movements begin with a little knot of people who, in their individual lives, and in their relations to each other, realize the ideal that is to be...To live truth is better than to utter it. Isaiah would have prophesied in vain, had he not gathered round him a little band of disciples who lived according to his ideal...Again, what would the teachings of Jesus have amounted to had he not collected a body of disciples who made it their life-aim to put his teachings into practice? You will perhaps think I am laying out a mighty task far above your powers and aspirations. It is not so. Every great change in individual and social conditions begins small, among simple, earnest people, face to face with the facts of life. Ask yourselves seriously, 'Why should not the coming change begin with us?”

“In 1934, the Chrysler/DeSoto Airflows were a revolution in design, sleeker, lower, and closer to the ground than anything then on the road, with a full steel body. They nearly wrecked the company, thanks in part to a number of glitches that had escaped notice, such as engines occasionally breaking loose from their mountings when the car reached eighty miles an hour.”
