Progress Quotes
-
We are not here in this world to find elegant solutions, pregnant with initiative, or to serve the ways and modes of profitable progress. No, we are here to provide for all those who are weaker and hungrier, more battered and crippled than ourselves.

The top is greedy and mean and will always find a way to take care of themselves. They always do.
