Warren Buffett
“Culture, more than rule books, determines how an organization behaves.” Warren Buffett, The Essays of Warren Buffett

Thomas Jefferson
“Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves therefore are its only safe depositories.” Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia
