Theodore Roosevelt
“The great corporations which we have grown to speak of rather loosely as trusts are the creatures of the State, and the State not only has the right to control them, but it is duty bound to control them wherever the need of such control is shown.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage, like the despicable fabrication of the impotent and infinitely small Euclidean mind of man, that in the world's finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, for all the blood that they've shed; that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.”
Shantideva

Kahlil Gibran
“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself”
Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Nothing has ever been more insupportable for a man and a human society than freedom.
–The Grand Inquisitor”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
