• The question is not whether we wish to see everybody as well off as possible. Among men of good will such an aim can be taken for granted. The real question concerns the proper means of achieving it. And in trying to answer this we must never lose sight of a few elementary truisms. We cannot distribute more wealth than is created.

• Everyone defends his treasure, and will do so automatically.The real questions are, what do you treasure, and how much do you treasure it?
