Get wealth and power, if possible by grace, if not, by any means, get wealth and place Picture Quote #1

When I was young, I used to think that wealth and power would bring me happiness... I was right Picture Quote #1

Well, first of all, I think that a lot of the voters who are voting for the tea party candidates have really good impulses. That is, they believe that for years and years and years, the people with wealth and power or government power have done well and ordinary people have not. That's true Picture Quote #1

Truth! Why shall every wretch of letters dare to speak truth against his betters! Let ragged virtue stand aloof, nor mutter accents of reproof; let ragged wit a mute become, when wealth and power would have her dumb Picture Quote #1

To contemn all the wealth and power in the world, where they stand in competition with a man’s honor, is rather good sense than greatness of mind Picture Quote #1

The nature of the economic system should be a matter for public choice, and free market capitalism should not be accepted without any discussion of the rich variety of alternatives... Unlike civil laws, economic laws are imposed on people with all the authority of immutable laws of nature. But the economy is created by people, supported by government intervention, regulation, statute and subsidy, and implemented in such a way that it gives substantial wealth and power to a privileged few, while the majority face a life of relentless work, stress and periodic financial insecurity Picture Quote #1

What has destroyed every previous civilization has been the tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth and power Picture Quote #1

There is a difference between the inmates of your criminal prisons and the inmates of your cultural prison: The former understand that the distribution of wealth and power inside the prison had nothing to do with justice Picture Quote #1

Dictatorships usually exist primarily because of the internal power distribution in the home country. The population and society are too weak to cause the dictatorship serious problems, wealth and power are concentrated in too few hands. Although dictatorships may benefit from or be somewhat weakened by international actions, their continuation is dependent primarily on internal factors Picture Quote #1

I think the perception of wealth and power is that things just become easier and easier when in reality as you raise the stakes things become more stressful Picture Quote #1

The mining industry might make wealth and power for a few men and women, but the many would always be smashed and battered beneath its giant treads Picture Quote #1

A man who raises himself by degrees to wealth and power, contracts, in the course of this protracted labor, habits of prudence and restraint which he cannot afterwards shake off. A man cannot gradually enlarge his mind as he does his house Picture Quote #1

Up close the city constitutes an oppressive series of staircases, but from a distance it inspires fantasies of wealth and power so profound that even our communists are temporarily rendered speechless Picture Quote #1

The rule of law does not do away with the unequal distribution of wealth and power, but reinforces that inequality with the authority of law. It allocates wealth and poverty in such calculated and indirect ways as to leave the victim bewildered Picture Quote #1

We live in an age fit for heroes. No time has ever offered such perils or prizes... The test of this century will be whether man confuses the growth of wealth and power with the growth of spirit and character Picture Quote #1

It is not life and wealth and power that enslave men, but the cleaving to life and wealth and power Picture Quote #1

Some people are foolish enough to imagine that wealth and power and fame satisfy our hearts: but they never do, unless they are used to create and distribute happiness in the world Picture Quote #1

If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility! Picture Quote #1

For a free country to continue thriving, there have to be regular reforms, because any society, any economy that stays in place, you’re going to see repeated attempts to exploit the openings for twisting policy to the advantage of those who already have wealth and power Picture Quote #1

I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society’s care Picture Quote #1

In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is easier to acquire wealth and power by this combination than by deserving them, and to effect this, they have perverted the purest religion ever preached to man into mystery and jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer for their purposes Picture Quote #1

Unless the mass retains sufficient control over those entrusted with the powers of their government, these will be perverted to their own oppression, and to the perpetuation of wealth and power in the individuals and their families selected for the trust Picture Quote #1

Most men and women, by birth or nature, lack the means to advance in wealth and power, but all have the ability to advance in knowledge Picture Quote #1

Does the functioning of the world economy tend to concentrate wealth and power, or does it tend to diffuse it? Picture Quote #1

If we judge by wealth and power, our times are the best of times; if the times have made us willing to judge by wealth and power, they are the worst of times Picture Quote #1
