"Me, I've seen 45 years, and I've only figured out one thing. That's this: if a person would just make the effort, there's something to be learned from everything. From even the most ordinary, commonplace things, there's always something you can learn. I read somewhere that they said there's even different philosophies in razors. Fact is, if it weren't for that, nobody'd survive."

"I knew that discrimination existed, even though there were many individuals who were not prejudiced."
Awareness

Economy

"In debate, one randomly was assigned to one side or the other. This had at least one virtue - it made one see that there was more than one side to these complex issues."
Virtue
"Much of my work in this period was concerned with exploring the logic of economic models, but also with attempting to reconcile the models with every day observation."

Development

Economy
"Amherst is a liberal arts college, committed to providing students with a broad education."
Education
"There must have been something in the air of Gary that led one into economics: the first Nobel Prize winner, Paul Samuelson, was also from Gary, as were several other distinguished economists."
