More From Solon

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

The lesson for asia is; if you have a central bank, have a floating exchange rate; if you want to have a fixed exchange rate, abolish your central bank and adopt a currency board instead. either extreme; a fixed exchange rate through a currency board, but no central bank, or a central bank plus truly floating exchange rates; either of those is a tenable arrangement. but a pegged exchange rate with a central bank is a recipe for trouble.

When the rich plunder the poor of his rights, it becomes an example for the poor to plunder the rich of his property, for the rights of the one are as much property to him as wealth is property to the other, and the little all is as dear as the much. it is only by setting out on just principles that men are trained to be just to each other; and it will always be found, that when the rich protect the rights of the poor, the poor will protect the property of the rich. but the guarantee, to be effectual, must be parliamentarily reciprocal.

For often evil men are rich, and good men poor; but we will not exchange with them our virtue for their wealth since one abides always, while riches change their owners every day.

That was always my experience-a poor boy in a rich town; a poor boy in a rich boy's school; a poor boy in a rich man's club at princeton .... however, i have never been able to forgive the rich for being rich, and it has colored my entire life and works.

War seems to me to be a mean, contemptible thing: i would rather be hacked in pieces than take part in such an abominable business. and yet so high, in spite of everything, is my opinion of the human race that i believe this bogey would have disappeared long ago, had the sound sense of the nations not been systematically corrupted by commercial and political interests acting through the schools and the press

I was quite advanced when i was at school, and when i left school it seemed that all these really oafish clods from school were making tremendous progress and had wonderfully large cars and lots of money, and i seemed to be constantly waiting for a bus that never came.

Now almost every artist outside of new york is connected with some school or some museum school, and even in new york the majority are. that's an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. only a dozen or two painters do that.
