“Everything new endangers something old.”
Hyman George Rickover (1900–1986) United States admiral
The Rickover Effect (1992)
Context: Everything new endangers something old. A new machine replaces human hands; a new source of power threatens old businesses; a new trade route wipes out the supremacy of old ports and brings prosperity to new ones. This is the price that must be paid for progress and it is worth it.
“If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old”
Peter F. Drucker (1909–2005) American business consultant
