A wise man once said…

💬 Tenth men

“You can never tell what a man is able to do, but even though I recommend ten, and nine of them may disappoint me and fail, the tenth one may surprise me. That percentage is good enough for me, because it is in developing people that we make real progress in our own society.”

August Vollmer, Chief of Police, Berkeley P.D. 1909-1923, Los Angeles P.D. 1923-1924

James Tobin, July 1984
