It is not in the power of the government to make everybody more prosperous. Ludwig von Mises
The real egalitarians are not the people who want to redistribute wealth to the poor, but those who want to extend to the poor the ability to create their own wealth, to lift themselves up, instead of trying to tear others down.

Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. Ayn Rand
Nations crumble from within when the citizenry asks of government those things which the citizenry might better provide for itself.. Ronald Reagan
As for the men in power, they are so anxious to establish the myth of infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore truth. Boris Pasternak
I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this - no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one. Will Rogers
