"Do not waste the remainder of thy life in thoughts about others, when thou dost not refer thy thoughts to some object of common utility. For thou losest the opportunity of doing something else when thou hast such thoughts as these, 'What is such a person doing, and why, and what is he saying, and what is he thinking of, and what is he contriving,' and whatever else of the kind makes us wander away from the observation of our own ruling power." - Marcus Aurelius

"We are the origins of war: not history's forces, nor the times, nor justice, nor the lack of it, nor causes, nor religions, nor ideas, nor kinds of government, nor any other thing. We are the killers. We breed wars. We carry it like syphilis inside. Dead bodies rot in field and stream because the living ones are rotten. For the love of God, can't we love one another just a little - that's how peace begins. We have so much to love each other for. We have such possibilities, my children. We could change the world." - James Goldman

"In a country well-governed poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly-governed wealth is something to be ashamed of." - Confucius

 

[Megan]

Not exactly a favorite, but one that has me thinking for quite a while:
"Wealth can not exist without poverty. You can only accumulate wealth as long as someone else accumulates debt. That's why rich people need poor people to exist."
I don't know where I got this from, though.
