Hilaire Belloc Quotes About Today

Quotes about: Today

• ... But as a Godless greed pursued its career from excess to excess, it provoked a sort of twin hostile brother, equally Godless, born in the same atmosphere of utter disregard for the foundational virtues of humility and charity. This hostile twin brother of Capitalism was destined to be called Communism, and is today setting out to murder its elder.

It is perhaps on this line of easier credit that large capital today does most harm to small capital, drives it out and ruins it.
