I have come to regard the law courts not as a cathedral but rather as a casino.

-Ingrams, Richard Reid
  Referring to libel suits against him. Quoted in The Guardian, 30  Jul.

Speculators may do no harm as bubbles on a steady stream of enterprise.But the position is serious when enterprise becomes the bubble on a whirlpool of speculation.When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done.
