Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world.

Prosperous farmers mean more employment more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.

Modern poets talk against business poor things but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market.

To think that the new economy is over is like somebody in London in 1830 saying the entire industrial revolution is over because some textile manufacturers in Manchester went broke.

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible paying the highest wages possible.

Old age is not a disease - it is strength and survivorship triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments trials and illnesses.

Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum.

My wife and I unlike many intellectuals spent five years working on assembly lines. We came to fully understand the criticisms of the industrial age in which you are an appendage of a machine that sets the pace.
