Quotes

  • What the past shows, by overwhelming evidence, is that the imponderables outweigh every material article in the scales of human endeavor.
  • In human affairs, all that endures is what men think.
  • An army is a diversion of energy from the productive life of a nation.
  • Money is indispensable to a long-circuit heavy load energy system. It must be used when a sufficient surplus is being produced to allow a margin for exchange, and cost of transport, over a considerable distance. Money represents a storage battery when idle, and a generalized mode of the conversion of energy when it is in motion, with a function of equating time and space.
  • Whether it does any good or not, a law enforced must hurt someone.
  • The only way to prevent prostitution altogether would be to imprison one half of the human race.
