"Accumulation of wealth at one pole is..." - Quote by Karl Marx

“Be careful to trust a person who does not like wine.”

“Change the economic base and you will change human beings.”

“Just as the savage must wrestle with nature to satisfy his wants, to maintain and reproduce life, so must civilised man, and he must do so in all social formations and under all possible modes of production.”

“And the more pity that great folk should have count'nance in this world to drown or hang themselves more than their even-Christen.”

“The educated man pictures a horde of submen, wanting only a day's liberty to loot his house, burn his books, and set him to work minding a machine or sweeping out a lavatory. 'Anything,' he thinks, 'any injustice, sooner than let that mob loose.' He does not see that since there is no difference between the mass of rich and poor, there is no question of setting the mob loose. The mob is in fact loose now, and--in the shape of rich men--is using its power to set up enormous treadmills of boredom, such as 'smart' hotels.”

“It's been the same story ever since I can remember, ever since Wilson - the Republicans don't do a thing for the little man.”

“If the poor, for example, because they are more in number, divide among themselves the property of the rich,- is not this unjust? . . this law of confiscation clearly cannot be just.”

“A man's wealth is measured by what he doesn't need.”

“Of course you want to be rich and famous. It's natural. Wealth and fame are what every man desires. The question is: What are you willing to trade for it?”
