    ““If little planned is little sinned
    But little need the grave distress.
    What’s dying but a second wind?
    How but in zig-zag wantonness
    Could trumpeter Michael be so brave?””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The duty of government is to leave commerce to its own capital and credit as well as all other branches of business, protecting all in their legal pursuits, granting exclusive privileges to none.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “We are in danger ... of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.”
