“The unfortunate thing is that as you strive to free the corrupt because of politics, you don't free them of their insatiable greed for public coffers. A kleptomaniac will always be a kleptomaniac . Even if you dress a cobra and place it in the pulpit, the poison is still in its belly. When the opportunity to bite will present itself, pray that your children will not be the victims.”

“There is no nation or state that enjoys economic takeoff by inciting class hatred.

You cannot aspire to lead the poor into prosperity by condemning the rich into adversity. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

Achieving collective prosperity goal through the bottom-up economic model without proper firewalls against its ills is like sitting on that wheelbarrow and trying to lift yourself up by the handles.”
