You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.more Rahm Emanuel quotes | You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.more Rahm Emmanuel quotes | To combat depression by a forced credit expansion is to attempt to cure the evil by the very means which brought it about; because we are suffering from a misdirection of production, we want to create further misdirection -- a procedure which can only lead to a much more severe crisis as soon as the credit expansion comes to an end.more Friedrich August von Hayek quotes | | | As a rule, panics do not destroy capital; they merely reveal the extent to which it has been destroyed by its betrayal into hopelessly unproductive works.more John Mills quotes | ... absolutely we see this as an opportunity to reshape the way we do business and how we govern.more Gavin Newsom quotes | Our system is changing and [Congress] is the one branch that must act if we are to reverse those changes.
