The social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance which envelope our future.
From John Maynard Keynes
For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to every one that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still.
There is no harm in being sometimes wrong - especially if one is promptly found out.
The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
It would not be foolish to contemplate the possibility of a far greater progress still.
