“Bet on good people doing good things.” – Jeff Skoll
Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur talking about Solar Power
One of my all time favorite classics scenes from the movie, “You Can’t Take it With You”.
In which Jimmy and Jean talk about the paradigm of fear and passion, Banking and finance, commitment and duty, The Sun, plants and Solar Power, the secret to happiness, and falling in love. All in the space of five minutes with no cuts or edits.
They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore!
