“The great common people of this country are slaves, and monopoly is the master. . . . The politicians said we suffered from overproduction. Overproduction, when 10,000 little children, so statistics tell us, starve to death every year in the United States. . . . We will stand by our homes and stay by our fireside by force if necessary, and we will not pay our debts to the loan-shark companies until the government pays its debts to us.”

There's always a balancing force, even if it's sometimes hidden or unconscious.”

“You can build the most important companies in history with a very simple to describe concept. You can market products in less than 50 characters.
