“Men of power have not time to read, yet men who do not read are not fit for power. ”
Michael Foot

“We are not here in this world to find elegant solutions, pregnant with initiative, or to serve the ways and modes of profitable progress. No, we are here to provide for all those who are weaker and hungrier, more battered and crippled than ourselves. That is our only certain good and great purpose on earth, and if you ask me about those insoluble economic problems that may arise if the top is deprived of their initiative, I would answer 'To hell with them.' The top is greedy and mean and will always find a way to take care of themselves. They always do.”
Michael Foot

“Men of power have not time to read; yet men who do not read are unfit for power”
Michael Foot
