H. G. Wells

The only differences one can and should allow in socialism are between hard working people and idlers and between honest people and dishonest people.
Slobodan Milosevic

The only hope of socialism resides in those who have already brought about in themselves, as far as is possible in the society of today, that union between manual and intellectual labor which characterizes the society we are aiming at.
