“In your dread of dictators you established a state of society in which every ward boss is a dictator, every financier a dictator, every private employer a dictator, all with the livelihood of the workers at their mercy, and no public responsibility. And to symbolize this state of things, this defeat of all government, you have set up in New York Harbour a monstrous idol which you call Liberty. The only thing that remains to complete this monument is to put on its pedestal the inscription written by Dante on the gate of Hell ‘All hope abandon, ye who enter here.”
― George Bernard Shaw, The Political Madhouse in America and Nearer Home

“Young man, the secret of my success is that at an early age I discovered that I was not God.”
― Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
