The power of the State must be invoked for restoring economic freedom just as it has been invoked for destroying economic freedom.

It is therefore our business to restore economic freedom through the restoration of the only institution under which it flourishes, which institution is Property. The problem before us is, how to restore Property so that it shall be, as it was not so long ago, a general institution.

Be content to remember that those who can make omelettes properly can do nothing else.

An institute run with such knavish imbecility that if it were not the work of God it would not last a fortnight.

... But as a Godless greed pursued its career from excess to excess, it provoked a sort of twin hostile brother, equally Godless, born in the same atmosphere of utter disregard for the foundational virtues of humility and charity. This hostile twin brother of Capitalism was destined to be called Communism, and is today setting out to murder its elder.

Property, as a general social institution, well-divided property, having disappeared and Capitalism having taken its place, you cannot reverse the process without acting against natural economic tendencies.

The Reformation has been called in a biting epigram "a rising of the rich against the poor."
