    The ancient bitter opposition to improved methods [of production] on the ancient theory that it more than temporarily deprives men of employment ... has no place in the gospel of American progress.

    Out, out, brief candle.
    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
