"Is there any man here or any..." - Quote by Woodrow Wilson

“Hunger does not breed reform; it breeds madness and all the distemper's that make an ordered life impossible.”

“At last a vision has been vouchsafed to us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good.... With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life, without weakening or sentimentalizing it.”

“Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.”

“Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' is not above sudden, disturbing, movements. Since its inception, capitalism has known slumps and recessions, bubble and froth; no one has yet dis-invented the business cycle, and probably no one will; and what Schumpeter famously called the 'gales of creative destruction' still roar mightily from time to time. To lament these things is ultimately to lament the bracing blast of freedom itself.”

“The rich cannot accumulate wealth without the co-operation of the poor in society.”

“The capitalist cannot store labour-power in warehouses after he has bought it, as he may do with the raw material.”

“What would we say if the Chinese sent a gunboat with their marines up the Mississippi River claiming they were protecting their laundries in Memphis?”

“Imperialism is a paper tiger.”

“The British power is the overlord without whom Indian princes cannot breathe.”
