"There are not many things finer in our murderous species than this noble curiosity, this restless and reckless passion to understand."

Wisdom

"We conclude that the concentration of wealth is natural and inevitable, and is periodically alleviated by violent or peaceable partial redistribution. In this view all economic history is the slow heartbeat of the social organism, a vast systole and diastole of concentrating wealth and compulsive recirculation."

Capitalism

"Civilizations are the generations of the racial soul. As family-rearing, and then writing, bound the generations together, handing down the lore of the dying to the young, so print and commerce and a thousand ways of communication may bind the civilizations together, and preserve for future cultures all that is of value for them in our own. Let us, before we die, gather up our heritage, and offer it to our children."

Civilization

"We must steel ourselves against utopias and be content with a slightly better state."

Philosophy

"But now and then liberty, in the slogans of the strong, means freedom from restraint in the exploitation of the weak."

Society

"Nothing is often a good thing to do and always a good thing to say."

Wisdom
