"In
all business, there is a factor which cannot be compensated for in
dollars and cents or computed by any measure. It has no relation or
connection with the mercenary and is represented only by the spirit of
love which the true craftsman holds for his job and the things he is
trying to accomplish."
Frederick Louis Maytag I (July 14, 1857 – March 26, 1937)
Frederick Louis Maytag I also known as F. L. Maytag, founded the Maytag Company.

A
man does what he must — in spite of personal consequences, in spite of
obstacles and dangers, and pressures — and that is the basis of all
human morality.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy (29 May 1917 – 22 November 1963), Profiles in Courage (1956)
"To
and for the establishment, promotion and development of a Secret
Society, the true aim and object whereof shall be for the extension of
British rule throughout the world, the perfecting of a system of
emigration from the United Kingdom, and of colonisation by British
subjects of all lands where the means of livelihood are attainable by
energy, labour and enterprise, and especially the occupation by British
settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley
of the Euphrates, the Islands of Cyprus and Candia, the whole of South
America, the Islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great
Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago, the seaboard of China and
Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an
integral part of the British Empire, the inauguration of a system of
Colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament which may tend to
weld together the disjointed members of the Empire and, finally, the
foundation of so great a Power as to render wars impossible, and promote
the best interests of humanity."
From his Last Will and Testament (1902)
Cecil
John Rhodes was an English businessman, mining magnate, and politician
in South Africa. He was the founder of the diamond company De Beers,
which today markets 40% of the world's rough diamonds and at one time
marketed 90%. An ardent believer in British colonialism, he was the
founder of the southern African territory of Rhodesia, which was named
after him in 1895. South Africa's Rhodes University is also named after
Rhodes. He set up the provisions of the Rhodes Scholarship, which is
funded by his estate.
Historian Richard A. McFarlane has called
Rhodes "as integral a participant in southern African and British
imperial history as George Washington or Abraham Lincoln are in their
respective eras in United States history... Most histories of South
Africa covering the last decades of the nineteenth century are
contributions to the historiography of Cecil Rhodes."
