    Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man’s greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    Time that is moved by little fidget wheels
    Is not my Time,
