What's a Heavy Curse in a Fool's Pocket?

What has destroyed every previous civilization has been the tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth and power. This same tendency, operating with increasing force, is observable in our civilization today, showing itself in every progressive community, and with greater intensity the more progressive the community. – Henry George


Golden shackles are far worse than iron ones. – Mohandas ghandhi


Abundance is a blessing to the wise;
The use of riches in discretion lies;
Learn this, ye men of wealth – a heavy purse
In a fool’s pocket is a heavy curse.


To open a shop is easy, to keep it open is an art. – Confucius

Buy cheap, sell dear. – Thomas Lodge
