"A man sentenced to death obtained a reprieve by assuring the king he would teach his majesty's horse to fly within the year - on the condition that if he didn't succeed, he would be put to death at the end of the year.

My philosophy is like that man's. I take the long-range view."

-- Bernard Baruch
