Favorite Quotes
- The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. Thomas Jefferson
- The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood. Grover Cleveland
- Conversions will occur a few at a time until, after the last hold-outs have died, the whole profession will again be practicing under a single, but now different, paradigm. Thomas Kuhn
- I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government to the genuine principles of its Constitution; I mean an additional article, taking from the federal government the power of borrowing. Thomas Jefferson
- Regulation is a fundamental dominant social theme of the elites and they will flog it until people wake up and realize that every law and regulation is merely a price fix. Price-fixing merely distorts the underlying economy and transfers wealth from creators to those who had nothing to do with it and don't know how to use productively. Regulation "cures" little and "fixes" less. That's economic reality, no matter what lawyers and politicians want people to believe. The Daily Bell
- The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types -- the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution. G. K. Chesterton
