Thomas J. Watson

Founder of International Business Machines (IBM). Close friend to Walter Russell.


"Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker.
Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy.
Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity.
And on issues that seem important to you,
Stand up and be counted at any cost." [Thomas J. Watson (1874-1956)]
