Famous quotes containing the words genius, rise, fall, long-term, capital and/or management:
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On”, has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“For the nation’s rise and fall every citizen has a responsibility.”
—Chinese proverb.
“If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)

—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
“There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held by each. This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other’s heart.”

“The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
