“These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people”
Abraham Lincoln
“There is nothing so annoying as to have two people talking when you're busy interrupting.”
Mark Twain
“Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
“If you look for the bad in people expecting to find it, you surely will.”
“Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.”
“The present era has no comparable referent in the past history of capitalism. We have a higher percentage of the intelligentsia engaged in buying and selling pieces of paper and promoting trading activity than in any past era.

Charles Munger
“It is not necessary to advertise food to hungry people, fuel to cold people, or houses to the homeless.”
John Kenneth Galbraith
