The Atlas Giant ...

If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that
he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling,his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater the effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders - what would
you tell him to do?


hmm

So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods
produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears,
or of the looters, who take it fro you by force. Money is made possible
only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?
