“Man is by nature a pragmatic materialist, a mechanic, a lover of gadgets and gadgetry; and these are qualities that characterize the “establishment” which regulates modern society: pragmatism, materialism, mechanization, and gadgetry.

—Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
“In poorer lands

Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”

—James Keir Hardie (1856–1915)
“With a group of bankers I always had the feeling that success was measured by the extent one gave nothing away.”
