Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

I suppose I was always attracted to the producing function - trying to put things together and make things happen.

Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.
