Education is the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the ignorant by the incompetent. - John Maynard Keynes

If one is born a political animal, it is most uncomfortable not to belong to a political party; cold and lonely and futile it is.

For many ages to come the old Adam will be so strong in us that everybody will need to do some work if he is to be contented. We shall do more things for ourselves than is usual with the rich to-day, only too glad to have small duties and tasks and routines. But beyond this, we shall endeavour to spread the bread thin on the butter-to make what work there is still to be done to be as widely shared as possible. Three-hour shifts or a fifteen-hour week may put off the problem for a great while. For three hours a day is quite enough to satisfy the old Adam in most of us!
