Money the root of all evil, unless used for good purpose

A man given to pride is usually proud of the wrong thing.

My opposition to war is not based upon pacifist or non-resistant principles. It may be that the present state of civilization is such that certain international questions cannot be discussed; it may be that they have to be fought out. But the fighting never settles the question. It only gets the participants around to a frame of mind where they will agree to discuss what they were fighting about.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.

The gifted man bears his gifts into the world, not for his own benefit, but for the people among whom he is placed; for the gifts are not his, he himself is a gift to the community.

Two classes of people lose money; those who are too weak to guard what they have; those who win money by trick. They both lose in the end.

If people understood how the economic system works, there'd be a revolution in a minute.
