Politics, Lao-tzu

He who loves the world as his body may be entrusted with the empire.

- Laozi (老子, 604 BC-? )

Finance, Nicolas Sarkozy

Purely financial capitalism has perverted the logic of capitalism, Financial capitalism is a system of irresponsibility and ... is amoral. It is a system where the logic of the market excuses everything.

- Nicolas Sarkozy, French President, At the Symposium "New World, New Capitalism," Paris, Jan. 9, 2009
