Quote of the Day (John Woolman, on the Obligations of the Wealthy)


“If a man, successful in business, expends part of his income in things of no real use, while the poor employed by him pass through difficulties in getting the necessaries of life, this requires his serious attention.”—John Woolman, Remarks on Sundry Subjects (1773), reprinted in The Journal and Essays of John Woolman (1922)
