People sometimes ask me two things: 1) Why the first thing you come to when you visit the Circle website is a quote by Karl Marx? and, 2) Whether this doesn’t turn away business in droves?

I answer the first question with something like… Well, I think Marx was a brilliant man, and I find his correlation of “cause and effect” to express this crucial point more eloquently than most, and certainly more succinctly than I could. I answer the second question with… Well, if the fact that we quote Marx on our website is a potential deal-breaker, we choose to view this as an acid test (and a suitable barrier to entry, per se), and we’re likely better off never even hearing from such folks.

I happen to believe we can learn from almost anyone and anything—as long as we keep our minds open and exercise discernment—which is why we also quote sources ranging from Walt Disney, to Winston Churchill, to the Bible.

Wisdom is where you find it, no?
