These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.
The reason that a good citizen does not use such destructive means to become wealthier is that, if everyone did so, we would all become poorer from the mutual destructiveness.
What enables us to achieve our greatness contains the seeds of our destruction.
America has thrived on capitalism, and America will thrive again on capitalism.
Greed is so destructive. It destroys everything.
Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.
The greatest thing that we can do for the world is be America.
Remember, America's greatness is based on creating wealth like the rest of the world has never known, and then, making sure it's shared throughout a middle class and even the underprivileged.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
You can't destroy America by destroying our elite. Think about America's elite. Think about it down through history. Destroy our elite, and about half the time, you're doing us a favor.
