Quote from William Graham Sumner 

"All history is one long story to this effect:
men have struggled for power over their fellow men
in order that they might win the joys
of earth at the expense of others,
might shift the burdens of life
from their own shoulders upon those of others."

Quote by:
William Graham Sumner
(1840-1910) American classical liberal (now a branch of "libertarianism" in political philosophy), social scientist, professor of sociology, polymath
