Quote of the day

Each member of society can have only a small fraction of the knowledge possessed by all, and. . . each is therefore ignorant of most of the facts on which the working of society rests. . . civilization rests on the fact that we all benefit from knowledge which we do not possess. And one of the ways in which civilization helps us to overcome that limitation on the extent of individual knowledge is by conquering intelligence, not by the acquisition of more knowledge, but by the utilization of knowledge which is and which remains widely dispersed among individuals.

It's hard to predict what will happen with two brands in a market. Sometimes they will behave in a gentlemanly way, and sometimes they'll pound each other. I know of no way to predict whether they'll compete moderately or to the death. If you could figure it out, you could make a lot of money.

Without theory, practice is but routine born of habit. Theory alone can bring forth and develop the spirit of invention. . . . [Do not] share the opinion of those narrow minds who disdain everything in science which has not an immediate application. . . . A theoretical discovery has but the merit of its existence: it awakens hope, and that is all. But let it be cultivated, let it grow, and you will see what it will become.
