Quote by C. H. (Charles Haddon) Spurgeon
It is said that if Noah's ark had to be built by a company; they would not have laid the keel yet; and it may be so. What is many men's business is nobody's business. The greatest things are accomplished by individual men.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the idea that group efforts, often represented by companies, can be slow and inefficient when it comes to achieving great things. The comparison to Noah's ark suggests that a company would still be in the early stages of planning and preparation, while an individual would have already accomplished the task. It suggests that individual drive and dedication is often more effective than relying on collective efforts where responsibilities and accountability may be unclear. The quote highlights the significance of individual action and the potential limitations of group dynamics in achieving monumental accomplishments.
