Henry George 105 quotes

The man who gives me employmen...

The man who gives me employment, which I must have or suffer, that man is my master, let me call him what I will.

Henry George 105 quotes

He who sees the truth, let him...

He who sees the truth, let him proclaim it, without asking who is for it or who is against it.

Henry George 105 quotes

He who by an exertion of mind ...

He who by an exertion of mind or body, adds to the aggregate of enjoyable wealth, increases the sum of human knowledge, or gives to human life higher elevation or greater fullness - he is, in the larger meaning of the words, a ' producer,' a ' working man,' a ' laborer,' and is honestly earning honest wages.

Henry George 105 quotes

It is not the business of government to make men virtuous or religious, or to preserve the fool from the consequences of his own folly.

Henry George 105 quotes

Henry George 105 quotes

Henry George 105 quotes

How vainly shall we endeavor to repress crime by our barbarous punishment of the poorer class of criminals so long as children are reared in the brutalizing influences of poverty, so long as the bite of want drives men to crime.

Henry George 105 quotes

Abolish all taxation save that upon land values.

Henry George 105 quotes

Discovery can give no right of...

Discovery can give no right of ownership, for whatever is discovered must have been already here to be discovered. If a man makes a wheelbarrow, or a book, or a picture, he has a moral right to that particular wheelbarrow, or book, or picture, but no right to ask that others be prevented from making similar things. Such a prohibition, though given for the purpose of stimulating discovery and invention, really in the long run operates as a check upon them.

Henry George 105 quotes

Social progress makes the well...

Social progress makes the well-being of all more and more the business of each.

Henry George 105 quotes

Poorly paid labor is inefficie...

Poorly paid labor is inefficient labor, the world over.

Henry George 105 quotes

That which is unjust can reall...

That which is unjust can really profit no one; that which is just can really harm no one.

Henry George 105 quotes

The march of invention has clothed mankind with powers of which a century ago the boldest imagination could not have dreamt.
