What William Morris actually said
- William Morris English designer, writer and socialist (1834 to 1896)
War or competition, whichever you please to call it, means at the best pursuing your own advantage at the cost of some one else’s loss, and in the process of it you must not be sparing of destruction even of your own possessions, or you will certainly come by the worse in the struggle.
