James Russell Lowell Because an appeal makes logical sense is no guarantee that it will work. William Bernbach Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.
