The larger unit can borrow more easily in proportion than the smaller. It can especially tap bank credit more easily and bank credit is, to-day, the chief factor in economic activity of all kinds.

More quotes by Hilaire Belloc
Here richly, with ridiculous display, The Politician's corpse was laid away. While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.
Hilaire Belloc
The world is full of double beds And most delightful maidenheads, Which being so, there's no excuse For sodomy or self-abuse.
Hilaire Belloc
Under the old philosophy which had governed the high Middle Ages things had been everywhere towards a condition of Society in which property was well distributed throughout the community, and thus the family rendered independent.
Hilaire Belloc
Statistics are the triumph of the quantitative method, and the quantitative method is the victory of sterility and death.
Hilaire Belloc
And the men that were boys when I was a boy Shall sit and drink with me.
Hilaire Belloc
From quiet homes and first beginning, out to the undiscovered ends, there's nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.
Hilaire Belloc
We cannot make owners by merely giving men something to own. And, I repeat, whether there be sufficient desire for property left upon which we can work, only experience can decide.
Hilaire Belloc
Ownership is not a general feature of our society, determining its character. On the contrary, dependence on a precarious wage at the will of others is the general feature of our society.
Hilaire Belloc
The choice lies between property on the one hand and slavery, public or private, on the other. There is no third issue.
Hilaire Belloc
Slowly but certainly the proletarian, by every political reform which secures his well-being under new rules of insurance, of State control in education, of State medicine and the rest, is developing into the slave, leaving the rich man apart and free. All industrial civilization is clearly moving towards the re-establishment of the Servile State.
Hilaire Belloc
There are few greater temptations on earth than to stay permanently at Oxford in meditation, and to read all the books in the Bodlean.
Hilaire Belloc
In soft deluding lies let fools delight. A shadow marks our days, which end in Night.
Hilaire Belloc
Any subject can be made interesting, and therefore any subject can be made boring.
Hilaire Belloc
Physicians of the utmost fame, Were called at once but when they came They answered, as they took their fees, 'There is no Cure for this Disease.'
Hilaire Belloc
Every major question in history is a religious question. It has more effect in molding life than nationalism or a common language.
Hilaire Belloc
The Microbe is so very small You cannot make him out at all, But many sanguine people hope To see him through a microscope.
Hilaire Belloc
There is no one who has cooked but has discovered that each particular dish depends for its rightness upon some little point which he is never told. It is not only so of cooking: it is so of splicing a rope of painting a surface of wood of mixing mortar of almost anything you like to name among the immemorial human arts.
Hilaire Belloc
[Heresy is] the dislocation of a complete and self-supporting scheme by the introduction of a novel denial of some essential part therein.
Hilaire Belloc
All men have an instinct for conflict: at least, all healthy men.
Hilaire Belloc
The control of the production of wealth is the control of human life itself.
