Yelp’s founder once thought no one would want to post opinions on the Internet

New products, underpenetrated categories and a large domestic market opportunity should continue to propel revenue growth at a high rate for years to come, while sales force productivity and SG&A leverage should lead to rapidly increasing free cash flow over the next decade.

President Brigham Young said something to the effect that "the greatest fear I have is that the people of this Church will accept what we say as the will of the Lord without first praying about it and getting the witness within their own hearts that what we say is the word of the Lord." "Never will anyone who says his Rosary every day become a formal heretic or be led astray by the devil." "The idea that the service to God should have only to do with a church altar, singing, reading, sacrifice, and the like is without doubt but the worst trick of the devil. There may be exceptions, but the majority prefer an infidel's cheer to the favor of God and the love of the Christian community." - Rev. Justin Dewey Fulton in his treatise against women's suffrage.
