“If all the rich men in the world divided up their money amongst themselves, there wouldn’t be enough to go round.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“I certainly know that if the war fails, the administration fails, and that I will be blamed for it, whether I deserve it or not. And I ought to be blamed, if I could do better. You think I could do better; therefore you blame me already. I think I could not do better; therefore I blame you for blaming me.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
