I can see how sincere, how compassionately proletarian a religious prophet may be, that is the fate which sooner or later befalls him in a competitive society — to be founder of an organization of fools, conducted by knaves for the benefit of wolves. That fate befell Buddha and Jesus, it befell Ignatius Loyola and Francis of Assisi, John Calvin and John Wesley.
— Upton Sinclair (1878-1968), American reformer, writer, muckracker
