“Ships and railways do not spring up from the earth and function automatically. They come in response to the call of civilisation, through the labour and ingenuity and organising ability of people who have imagination, faith, enthusiasm, decision and persistence!

Riches come, if they come at all, in response to definite demands, based upon the application of definite principles, and not by chance or luck.”
