"Concentration of wealth and power has been..." - Quote by Franklin D Roosevelt

“The first twelve years are the hardest.”

“A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.”

“I've fired my last shot. I think I should have another round in my belt.”

“Nobody should be hitting lotto for 36 million dollars when we got people starving in the streets. That is not idealistic, that's just real. That is just stupid. There's no way Michael Jackson, or whoever should have thousands, millions, billions of dollars and we got people broke with two-three jobs and still can't pay bills on time. There's no way! No way these people should have planes when people don't have houses, apartments, shacks, drawers, pants!!!”

“People starve. The rulers consume too much with their taxes. That is why people starve.”

“Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught.”

“Instead of an aristocracy of wealth, of more harm and danger than benefit to society, to make an opening for the aristocracy of virtue and talent, which nature has wisely provided for the direction of the interests of society and scattered with equal hand through all its conditions, was deemed essential to a well-ordered republic.”

“Fame of self: Which matters more? Self or wealth: Which is more precious? Gain or loss: Which is more painful?”

“Perhaps you know some well-off families who do not seem to suffer from their riches. They do not overeat themselves; they find occupations to keep themselves in health; they do not worry about their position; they put their money into safe investments and are content with a low rate of interest; and they bring up their children to live simply and do useful work. But this means that they do not live like rich people at all, and might therefore just as well have ordinary incomes.”
