“If we want less and less, we may in fact receive more and more of what we need. It may work like that.”

“What does labor want? We want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures, to make manhood more noble, womanhood more beautiful, and childhood more happy and bright.”

“We may well find that if we are to fulfill God's mandate on earth, we will need to communicate less often so we can communicate more. We will need to forsake the ease and the pace of quantity for the reflective significance of quality.”

“We have two ears and only one tongue in order that we may hear more and speak less.”

“The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is that we may listen the more and talk the less.”

“What we need in politics today is not more democracy but less.”
