The Road To Heaven is Paved With Bad Intentions

". . . we must pretend to ourselves and to everyone that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still. For only they can lead us out of the tunnel of economic necessity into daylight."

- John Maynard Keynes "The Future", Essays in Persuasion (1931)
