The correct relationship between the higher and lower classes, the appropriate mutual interaction between the two is, as such, the true underlying support on which the improvement of the human species rests. The higher classes constitute the mind of the single large whole of humanity; the lower classes constitute its limbs; the former are the thinking and designing [ Entwerfende ] part, the latter the executive part.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

I have had the view that cutting wages is not the path to prosperity, and one of the great myths propagated about my attitude to industrial relations is that I believe in lower wages. I've never believed in lower wages. Never. Never believed in lower wages, I've never believed in lower wages as an economic instrument.

John Howard

Of course the lower classes have always felt downtrodden and aspired to a better life. But there is this theory that people respond to a class structure in England - there was a time when people knew who they were and knew whom they served and as long as management wasn't abusive, it was a good life for people.

Damian Lewis

The trouble with the lower classes is that they lack the sense of tragedy given to them by the upper classes.

Oscar Wilde

Capitalism has always been a failure for the lower classes. It is now beginning to fail for the middle classes.

Howard Zinn

'Skins' was like our uni. I'm tight with everyone from 'Skins' because we had that special experience together.

Daniel Kaluuya

All the old history was written for the amusement of the ruling classes. The lower classes couldn't read, and their rulers didn't care about remembering what happened to them.

Frank Zappa

I would never claim to be an actor as I have never had any training and apart from being in a panto, before 'Skins' I had not acted.

John Bishop

Everyone but an idiot knows that the lower classes must be kept poor, or they will never be industrious.

Arthur Young

Generosity toward the lower classes historically has never been an important part of upper-class awareness.

Michael Parenti

Unlike cheap stocks, inexpensive asset classes have a lower chance of big drawdowns (broad asset classes don't go to zero) and a higher probability of average or better returns.

Barry Ritholtz

Much of what is today called "social criticism" consists of members of the upper classes denouncing the tastes of the lower classes (bawdy entertainment, fast food, plentiful consumer goods) while considering themselves egalitarians.

Steven Pinker

I knew that the Mets had never had a no-hitter. I never had one. This is very special. I knew this means a lot to New York.

Johan Santana

People were very nice to me. They knew I didn't have the money to do figure-drawing classes, so they let me annex the figure-drawing classes that the animators had.

Byron Howard

Naturally, you don't sit down in "white hot inspiration" and write with a burning flame in front of you. But since I knew I could never be happy being anything but a writer, and Mockingbird put itself together for me so accommodatingly, I kept at it because I knew it had to be my first novel, for better or for worse.

Harper Lee

I was in acting classes from the age of 9, dance classes, music classes - my mom put a lot of energy and attention into me, so no matter what happened in my life, I always had this basis of discipline. So I really worked hard for everything I had from a very early age.

Milla Jovovich
