A time will come when the science of destruction shall bend before the arts of peace; when the genius which multiplies our powers, which creates new products, which diffuses comfort and happiness among the great mass of the people, shall occupy in the general estimation of mankind that rank which reason and common sense now assign to it. — Francois Arago

The capitalist achievement does not typically consist in providing more silk stockings for queens but in bringing them within reach of factory girls. — Joseph Schumpeter
