“The whole financial structure of Wall Street seems to rise or fall on the mere fact that the Federal Reserve Bank raises or lowers the amount of interest. Any business that can't survive a one percent change must be skating on thin ice. Why even the poor farmer took a raise of another ten percent just to get a loan from the bank, and nobody from the government paid any attention. But you let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help to get them back into bed again.” CountryWholeFactsHelpingSeemsGovernmentFallInterestPoorAttentionStreetsWallAmountBedTenPercentEconomicsPaidRaisesStructureMereFinancialIceNightmareFarmersReservesLoanSkatingFederal ReserveSkating On Thin Ice Author:Will Rogers

“While one could hardly say that philosophers have given much attention to the place that the concept of evil has among our moral concepts, they have done so more in the last ten or so years than they had before. I have, therefore, often wondered why there has been so little discussion of goodness. In Search of Goodness is not only an exception: it is an admirable one. It is original and provocative, impressive both in its breadth and depth.” YearsLittlesHas BeensDoneLastsEvilGivenAttentionMoralTenGoodnessConceptsOriginalsDepthPhilosopherDiscussionExceptionImpressiveAdmirableProvocativeBreadth Author:Raimond Gaita

“One man with an idea in his head is in danger of being considered a madman: two men with the same idea in common may be foolish, but can hardly be mad; ten men sharing an idea begin to act, a hundred draw attention as fanatics, a thousand and society begins to tremble, a hundred thousand and there is war abroad, and the cause has victories tangible and real; and why only a hundred thousand? Why not a hundred million and peace upon the earth? You and I who agree together, it is we who have to answer that question.” MenMayTwoIdeasWarRealEarthTogetherCausesAnswersCommonAttentionMillionsDangerVictoryThousandTenDrawsHundredAgreeMadFoolishWhy NotOne ManFanaticsTangibleMadmen Book:William Morris on Art and Socialism Source: William Morris on Art and Socialism
“The young women who attract so much attention never change: They are all stupid. They have at best only the crudest notions of their own power, and never calculate motives or consequences. Giving a young woman a young woman's body makes as much sense as giving ten teenagers Lamborghinis and telling them to drive in figure 8s around a parking lot.” GivingBodyYoungAttentionStupidFiguresTenConsequenceNotionTeenagerMotiveYoung WomenNever ChangeParkingWomen's BodiesParking Lot Author:Richard Brookhiser
