The principle effect of this will be for the United States to control large parts of the oil which the world possesses.

• In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.

• Ningún déspota lanzó jamás sus legiones a morir en una conquista extranjera, ninguna nación gobernada por privilegios cruzó jamás sus fronteras para estrecharse en un abrazo mortal con otra, pero detrás de ellos se cernía el poder impulsor de una población demasiado grande para sus fronteras y sus recursos naturales.
