“The essence of capitalism is expressed in two of its basic features: a) profit maximization and b) market competition. In their abstract formulations none of them was supposed to have anything conspiratorial against the poor. But in real life they turn out to be the "killers" of the poor - by making rich the richer and poor the poorer.” TwoRealTurnsPoliticsPoorEconomyRichCapitalismEssenceCompetitionProfitReal LifeFeaturesAbstractLiberalismKillersProfit Maximization Author:Muhammad Yunus
“The Romans had, like other Pagan nations, a nature festival, called by them Saturnalia, and the Northern peoples had Yule; both celebrated the turn of the year from the death of winter to the life of spring - the winter solstice. As this was an auspicious change the festival was a very joyous one... The giving of presents and the burning of candles characterized it. Among the Northern people the lighting of a huge log in the houses of the great and with appropriate ceremonies was a feature.” PeopleGivingYearsTurnsHouseNationsAtheismHugeSpringWinterBurningFeaturesAppropriateCandleCeremonyFestivalsJoyousLightingPaganSolsticeWinter SolsticeYule Author:Samuel L.

“It is believed that physiognomy is only a simple development of the features already marked out by nature. It is my opinion, however, that in addition to this development, the features come insensibly to be formed and assume their shape from the frequent and habitual expression of certain affections of the soul. These affections are marked on the countenance; nothing is more certain than this; and when they turn into habits, they must leave on it durable impressions.” SoulCertainTurnsSimpleOpinionExpressionDevelopmentHabitShapesAssumingAffectionImpressionFeaturesHabitualCountenancePhysiognomy Author:Jean-Jacques Rousseau
