More quotes by Thomas Nixon Carver
Not a single one of the doctrines of Marx has ever been accepted by any economist or any philosopher. But what of it?

Thomas Nixon Carver
Justice is that system of adjusting conflicting interests which makes the group strong and progressive rather than weak and retrogressive whereas injustice is a system of adjusting conflicting interests which makes a nation weak and retrogressive rather than strong and progressive.
