Nothing can preserve the integ...

Nothing can preserve the integrity of contact between individuals, except a discretionary authority in the state to revise what has become intolerable. The powers of uninterrupted usury are too great. If the accretions of vested interests were to grow without mitigation for many generations, half the population would be no better than slaves to the other half.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The love of money as a possess...

The love of money as a possession...will be recognised for what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Conservatism leads nowhere; it...

Conservatism leads nowhere; it satisfies no ideal.

If farming were to be organised like the stock market, a farmer would sell his farm in the morning when it was raining, only to buy it back in the afternoon when the sun came out.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

They offer me neither food nor...

They offer me neither food nor drink - intellectual nor spiritual consolation... [Conservatism] leads nowhere; it satisfies no ideal; it conforms to no intellectual standard, it is not safe, or calculated to preserve from the spoilers that degree of civilization which we have already attained.

It is a good thing to make mistakes so long as you're found out quickly.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Businessmen have a different s...

Businessmen have a different set of delusions from politicians; and need, therefore, different handling. They are, however, much milder than politicians, at the same time allured and terrified by the glare of publicity....You could do anything you like with them, if you would treat them (even the big ones) not as wolves and tigers, but as domestic animals by nature, even though they have been badly brought up and not trained as you would wish.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

It is Enterprise which build and improves the world's possessions...If Enterprise is afoot, Wealth accumulates whatever may be happening to Thrift; and if Enterprise is asleep, Wealth decays, whatever Thrift may be doing.

Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

When I find new information I change my mind; What do you do?

Perhaps it is historically true that no order of society ever perishes save by its own hand.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

To suggest social action for the public good to the city London is like discussing The Origin of Species to a Bishop sixty years ago.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Once we allow ourselves to be disobedient to the test of an accountant's profit, we have begun to change our civilization.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The principle objectives in life are love, the creation and enjoyment if aesthetic experience, the pursuit of knowledge. Love comes a long way first.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

When the accumulation of wealt...

When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals. We shall be able to rid ourselves of many of the pseudo-moral principles which have hag-ridden us for two hundred years, by which we have exulted some of the most distasteful of human qualities into the highest virtues.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Galton's eccentric, sceptical,...

Galton's eccentric, sceptical, observing, flashing, cavalry-leader type of mind led him eventually to become the founder of the most important, significant and, I would add, genuine branch of sociology which exists, namely eugenics.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The time has already come when...

The time has already come when each country needs a considered national policy about what size of population, whether larger or smaller than at present or the same, is most expedient. And having settled this policy, we must take steps to carry it into operation. The time may arrive a little later when the community as a whole must pay attention to the innate quality as well as to the mere numbers of its future members.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The political problem of manki...

The political problem of mankind is to combine three things: economic efficiency, social justice and individual liberty.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

In a regime of Free Trade and ...

In a regime of Free Trade and free economic intercourse it would be of little consequence that iron lay on one side of a political frontier, and labor, coal, and blast furnaces on the other. But as it is, men have devised ways to impoverish themselves and one another; and prefer collective animosities to individual happiness.
