Henry George Thinking Quotations

The great work of the present for every man, and every organization of men, who would improve social conditions, is the work of education the propagation of ideas.

I do not think that any sorrow of youth or manhood equalled in intensity or duration the black and hopeless misery which followed the wrench of transference from a happy home to a school.

The people must think because the people alone can act.
