The real danger of democracy is, that the classes which have the power under it will assume all the rights and reject all the duties-that is, that they will use the political power to plunder those-who-have.

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

He who would be well taken care of must take care of himself.

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

It is not the function of the State to make men happy. They must make themselves happy in their own way, and at their own risk. The functions of the State lie entirely in the conditions or chances under which the pursuit of happiness is carried on.

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

What is the real relation between happiness and goodness? It is only within a few generations that men have found courage to say that there is none.

Darwin was as much of an emancipator as was Lincoln.

We shall find that every effort to realize equality necessitates a sacrifice of liberty.

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

All history is only one long story to this effect: men have struggled for power over their fellow-men in order that they might win the joys of earth at the expense of others and might shift the burdens of life from their own shoulders upon those of others.

The lobby is the army of the plutocracy.

History is only a tiresome repetition of one story.

The State cannot get a cent for any man without taking it from some other man, and this latter must be a man who has produced and saved it. This latter is the Forgotten Man

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

History is only a tiresome rep...

History is only a tiresome repetition of one story. Persons and classes have sought to win possession of the power of the State in order to live luxuriously out of the earnings of others

Great captains of industry are as rare as great generals

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

Any one who believes that any great enterprise of an industrial character can be started without labor must have little experience of life.

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

A drunkard in the gutter is just where he ought to be, according to the fitness and tendency of things. Nature has set upon him the process of decline and dissolution by which she removes things which have survived their usefulness.

Furthermore, the unearned increment from land appears in the United States as a gain to the first comers, who have here laid the foundations of a new State.

I have before me a newspaper slip on which a writer expresses the opinion that no one should be allowed to possess more than one million dollars' worth of property.

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

I never have known a man of ordinary common-sense who did not urge upon his sons, from earliest childhood, doctrines of economy and the practice of accumulation.

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

It is a beneficent incident of the ownership of land that a pioneer who reduces it to use, and helps to lay the foundations of a new State, finds a profit in the increasing value of land as the new State grows up.

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

It is often said that the earth belongs to the race, as if raw land was a boon, or gift.

William Graham Sumner 121 quotes

Gentlemen, the time is coming ...

Gentlemen, the time is coming when there will be two great classes, Socialists, and Anarchists. The Anarchists want the government to be nothing, and the Socialists want the government to be everything. There can be no greater contrast. Well, the time will come when there will be only these two great parties, the Anarchists representing the laissez faire doctrine and the Socialists representing the extreme view on the other side, and when that time comes I am an Anarchist.
