Our relationships will improve dramatically when we stop rescuing others and stop expecting them to rescue us.”

“To undertake the direction of the economic life of people with widely divergent ideals and values is to assume responsibilities which commit one to the use of force; it is to assume a position where the best intentions cannot prevent one from being forced to act in a way which to some of those affected must appear highly immoral. This is true even if we assume the dominant power to be as idealistic and unselfish as we can possibly conceive. But how small is the likelihood that it will be unselfish, and how great are the temptations!”

As conditions are today, nothing can be more important to every intelligent man than economics. His own fate and that of his progeny are at stake.”
