Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied.
- Henry George | Homo Sapiens Quotes
There is danger in reckless change; but greater danger in blind conservatism.
Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.

- Henry George | Rights Quotes
The man who gives me employment, which I must have or suffer, that man is my master, let me call him what I will.
- Henry George | Slavery Quotes
It is but a truism that labor is most productive where its wages are largest. Poorly paid labor is inefficient labor, the world over.
- Henry George | Wages Quotes
The ideal social state is not that in which each gets an equal amount of wealth, but in which each gets in proportion to his contribution to the general stock.
- Henry George | Wealth Quotes
