Seamen have a custom, when they meet a whale, to fling him out an empty tub by way of amusement, to divert him from laying violent hands upon the ship. Jonathan Swift		Saturday Oct 04, 2025

Selected Quote

It is no good making a fortune if you do not know how to enjoy it. Higher material standards are no good if you do not know how to use them for a better life. Economic ideals must include the ideal of beauty as well as the ideal of plenty. We want new capital, far more capital than is being created today, but we want it not only to advance material well-being but because we want a better and more beautiful life for the citizens.
