Winston Churchill
Land monopoly is not only monopoly, but it is by far the greatest of monopolies it is a perpetual monopoly, and it is the mother of all other forms of monopoly.
Winston Churchill
If you travel the earth, you will find it is largely divided into two classes of people-people who say 'I wonder why such and such is not done and people who say Now who is going to prevent me from doing that thing?
Winston Churchill
