Achievement Must Be Made Against The Possibility Of Failure, Against The Risk Of Defeat. It Is No Achievement To Walk A Tightrope Laid Flat On The Floor. Where There Is No Risk, There Can Be No Pride In Achievement And, Consequently, No Happiness.

This Is The Only Way In The World To Economic Freedom. There Is No Other Way.
