The glory of the nation you love is a desirable end, — but generally to be obtained at your neighbor's expense.
John Maynard KeynesWhen the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals. We shall be able to rid ourselves of many of the pseudo-moral principles which have hag-ridden us for two hundred years, by which we have exulted some of the most distasteful of human qualities into the highest virtues.
John Maynard KeynesIf you owe your bank manager a thousand pounds, you are at his mercy. If you owe him a million pounds, he is at your mercy.
