A preoccupation with the so-called bottom line of profit and loss statements, coupled with a lust for expansion, is creating an environment in which fewer businessmen honor traditional values; where responsibility is increasingly disassociated from the exercise of power; where skill in financial manipulation is valued more than actual knowledge and experience in the business; where attention and effort is directed mostly to short-term considerations, regardless of longer range consequences.Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
Speech (1982-01-28), Joint Economic Committee, U.S. Congress, 97th Congress, 2nd Session
