Entrepreneurs' greatest asset is their contrarian way of thinking, their tendency to zig when others zag, to go in a new direction.

I say not only is crazy a compliment, but if you're not called crazy when you start something new, then you're not thinking big enough!

Henry Ward BeecherSeveral decades ago, a detachment of the American right cut itself loose from reason, and it has been drifting along happily ever since.
