"Common sense is in spite of, not because of age."

"You never expected justice from a company, did you? They have neither a soul to lose, nor a body to kick."

"Did you expect a corporation to have a conscience, when it has no soul to be damned and no body to be kicked?"

"Corporations have neither bodies to be punished, nor souls to be condemned, they therefore do as they like."
