    “America is a country that seems forever to be toddler or teenager, at those two stages of human development characterized by conflict between autonomy and security.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “A man’s labour is not only his capital but his life. When it passes it returns never more. To utilise it, to prevent its wasteful squandering, to enable the poor man to bank it up for use hereafter, this surely is one of the most urgent tasks before civilisation.”
