The Purse Strings Tie Us

History Is Strewn With The Wrecks Of Nations Which Have Gained A Little Progressiveness At The Cost Of A Great Deal Of Hard Manliness, And Have Thus Prepared Themselves For Destruction As Soon As The Movements Of The World Have A Chance For It.

The Purse Strings Tie Us To Our Kind.

Progress Would Not Have Been The Rarity It Is If The Early Food Had Not Been The Late Poison.

Public Opinion Is A Permeating Influence, And It Exacts Obedience To Itself; It Requires Us To Drink Other Men's Thoughts, To Speak Other Men's Words, To Follow Other Men's Habits.

No Great Work Has Ever Been Produced Except After A Long Interval Of Still And Musing Meditation.
