Sun Tzu meets Thomas Jefferson, meets Michael Dell

The quote below graces the welcome page of my personal website and it rings true when examined under many different circumstances... just as it has become fashionable for business schools and business leaders to use the work of the great Chinese scholar and military strategist Sun Tzu to illustrate common business principals, so it should become fashionable for business schools and business leaders to use the writing and examples of Thomas Jefferson to teach integrity.

History, by appraising them of the past, will enable them to judge of the future;
it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations;
it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men.


Thomas Jefferson
