“It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.”
Roger Babson

Roger Babson

“Our industrial system has resulted in almost stultifying men economically and making most of them economically non-productive. Why? I don’t know. I simply say it happens and the salvation of our industries depends on discovering something which will revive in man that desire to produce and that joy in production which he had instinctively when he was a small boy.”
