“I am opposing a social order
in which it is possible for one man
who does absolutely nothing that is useful
to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars,
while millions of men and women
who work all the days of their lives
secure barely enough for a wretched existence.”
~Eugene Victor Debs

“When we give freely, we feel full and complete; when we withhold, we feel small, petty, impotent, and lacking. We are meant to learn this great truth, that giving fulfills us, while withholding and trying to get causes us to feel empty and even more needy. This truth runs counter to our programming, which drives us to try to get something from others to fulfill our neediness, only to end up even more needy, grasping, lacking, and unfulfilled.”

"Capitalism is the astounding belief
that the most wickedest of men
will do the most wickedest of things
for the greatest good of everyone."

I am not opposed to capitalism.
I am opposed to capitalism
that has no restraint, regulation,
or moral conscience rooted in Love.

to satisfy every man's needs,
but not every man's greed.”
