All the controversialists who have become conscious of the real issue are already saying of our ideal exactly what used to be said of the Socialists' ideal. They are saying that private property is too ideal not to be impossible. They are saying that private enterprise is too good to be true. They are saying that the idea of ordinary men owning ordinary possessions is against the laws of political economy and requires an alteration in human nature.

Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified.

Women prefer to talk in twos, while men prefer to talk in threes.

Teach to the young, men's enduring truths, and let the learned amuse themselves with their passing errors.
