QOTD: Winston Churchill on The Contribution Society… [REXX training]

“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”

Winston Churchill

The quotation offers perhaps the best articulation of what I call the Contribution Society, which I envisaged as an alternative to the limited Ownership Society frame. Winston Churchill was of course no stranger to making a contribution – his wartime leadership was arguably the single most important British contribution to the 20th century.

I got the quote from from an email sig from Tim Noca, who is pitching a REXX training course next week (REXX is a dynamic scripting language that originated on the mainframe)
