Famous quotes containing the words team and/or facts:
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
