    “There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a Democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the “money touch,” but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.”
    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    “Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name!”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    “Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.”
    —Kwame Nkrumah (1900–1972)
