    “History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition.”
    —Milton Friedman (b. 1912)

    “He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
