Operations Quotes - Page 22

• The progress of the human race is effected by the operation of two forces which correspond in most respects to what in physics are often called, for want of better terms, the centripetal and centrifugal forces. These are the forces of convergence and divergence, the one tending to concentration of powers and properties, and the other to their separateness or the independence of parts. Socialism and Individualism are to appearance conflicting, though in reality complemental, in their relations to the societary movement.

• Personality must be educated, and personality cannot be educated by confining its operations to technical and specialized things, or to the less important relationships of life.

• Corporations are a good thing. But corporations should not be running our government...

• We are manipulated by fear and the fear of others, and how we're often manipulated into doing things and voting in ways that are against our own best interest. Look at healthcare.
