Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied.

Henry George

The fundamental principle of human action, the law, that is to political economy what the law of gravitation is to physics is that men seek to gratify their desires with the least exertion.

Henry George

Progressive societies outgrow institutions as children outgrow clothes.

Henry George
