Quote by Phillips Brooks

To say, 'well done' to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge.

To say, 'well done' to any bit of good work is to take hold

Summary

This quote suggests that by acknowledging and praising any form of good work, we are embracing and enhancing the capabilities behind that effort. Even if we may not fully understand the extent of these powers, acknowledging and praising them can empower the individuals responsible for the work to continue their positive contributions. By expressing appreciation, we can motivate and strengthen those involved, potentially amplifying their abilities and accomplishments in ways that go beyond our comprehension.

A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets depend only on moods: specifically, the mood of the men in the pinstripes, also known as the Boys on the Street. When the Boys are in a good mood, the market thrives; when they get scared or sullen, it is time for each one of us to look into the retail apple business.
