The ladder of development hovers overhead, and the poorest of the poor are stuck beneath it. They lack the minimum amount of capital necessary to get a foothold, and therefore need a boost up to the first rung. ~Jeffrey Sachs

Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders. ~Thomas Sowell
