"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."
"It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second."
"The free exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world."
"And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good."
"What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness."
