“Wars and revolutions and battles, you see, are due simply and solely to the body and its desires. All wars are undertaken for the acquisition of wealth; and the reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service.”

“The reason why we have never found measure of wealth. We never sought it.”

“I never turned children to war," Tool said."Only because you fought on the side of wealth,”

“We are in an economic war. It is a war between those who createwealth and those who believe they have some sort of divine mandateto appropriate wealth. They don’t have such an authoritative command.I don’t think they ever did. We have tried their command-andcontrolmethods for nearly a century because they said they knewbetter. It is now obvious that they didn’t.”

“Probably no country has ever had as large a shift in the distribution of wealth [as what we've seen in the U.S. in the last 30 years] without having gone through a revolution or losing a major war.”

“Little Bush says we are at war, but we are not at war because to beat war Congress has to vote for it. He says we are at war on terror,but that is a metaphor, though I doubt if he knows what that means.It's like having a war on dandruff, it's endless and pointless.”
