Results from Cole's Quotables:

People are the common denominator of progress. So... no improvement is possible with unimproved people, and advance is certain when people are liberated and educated. It would be wrong to dismiss the importance of roads, railroads, power plants, mills, and the other familiar furniture of economic development.... But we are coming to realize... that there is a certain sterility in economic monuments that stand alone in a sea of illiteracy. Conquest of illiteracy comes first.: John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006), The Affluent Society (1958)
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961
Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood.... Make big plans... aim high in hope and work.: Daniel H. Burnham (1846 - 1912)

For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.: James 2:10
What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is much more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.: Simone Weil (1909 - 1943), The Need for Roots (1949)
No matter how much spin, effort, lunch or dinner you give the media, they will not fail to notice whether you have won or lost.: Robin Renwick, former British ambassador to the United States
