John Maynard Keynes
  • Education: the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent.

  • The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward.

  • The importance of money flows from it being a link between the present and the future.

  • The social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance which envelope our future.

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