Quotes from the same author

No theory is too false, no fable too absurd, no superstition too degrading for acceptance when it has become embedded in common belief. Men will submit themselves to torture and to death, mothers will immolate [burn] their children at the bidding of beliefs they thus accept.

 Henry George
For every social wrong there must be a remedy. But the remedy can be nothing less than the abolition of the wrong.
