In the end, for the long term to prevail over the short term, we must want what the long term promises. Where there is no vision, there you find short-termism, for there is, then, no reason for compromise today for an unknown tomorrow.
— Charles B. Handy, The Age of Paradox (1994), Part 2, Chapter 5: “The Chinese Contract,” The Morality of Compromise, p. 96
