“Concentrate your energy, thought and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged... 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket' is all wrong.

“People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd.” PeopleMenWorldWellsHomeFightingEnergyCommonKnownLeaderPrinciplesTeacherCapitalismImportanceEngagedWell KnownImperialismQuarrelsHerdsDividingFederal Reserve Author:J.

“Leisure, itself the creation of wealth, is incessantly engaged in transmuting wealth into beauty by secreting the surplus energy which flowers in great architecture, great painting and great literature. Only in the atmosphere thus engendered floats that impalpable dust of ideas which is the real culture. A colony of ants or bees will never create a Parthenon.” IdeasRealCultureLiteratureEnergyWealthCreationPaintingFlowerArchitectureDustAtmosphereEngagedLeisureBeesFloatsAntsColonySurplusIncessantlyGreat LiteratureParthenon Author:Edith Wharton
“Generally, it's not good to be engaged directly with the political system unless you are qualified. It`s a very depressing business, the way politics works. You get stuck into it, but then, at some point, you have to walk away. I had to walk away, because it's like this dark, black energy void. There are some people who have dedicated their lives to living in that energy void, but I can't do it. I just can't go there. It feels like you're treading water too much when you do. It's a crazy thing.” PeopleWayFeelsI CanPoliticalEnergyBlackWaterDarkWalksToo MuchCrazyLike YouStuckEngagedDedicatedVoidDepressingQualifiedPolitical SystemsCrazy ThingsTreadingVery DepressingTreading Water Author:Thom Yorke
