1905·Pittsburgh, USA
The man who dies rich dies disgraced.
The problem of our age is the proper administration of wealth, so that the ties of brotherhood may still bind together the rich and poor in harmonious relationship.
Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.
Eleanor Roosevelt·1963We must know what we think and speak out, even at the risk of unpopularity. In the final analysis, a democratic government represents the sum total of the courage and the integrity of its individuals. It cannot be better than they are. … In the long run there is no more exhilarating experience than to determine one's position, state it bravely and then act boldly.
Confucius·-500 ADThe gentleman understands what is moral. The small man understands what is profitable.
Socrates·399 BCIt would be better for me... that multitudes of men should disagree with me rather than that I, being one, should be out of harmony with myself.
