Men of thought seldom work well together, whereas between men of action there is usually an easy camaraderie. Teamwork is rare in intellectual or artistic undertakings, but common and almost indispensable among men of action.

A Communist commissar of industry has probably more in common with a capitalist industrialist than with a Communist theoretician.
