Quotes

The steam engine, the multiple press, and the public school, that trio of the industrial revolution, have taken the power away from kings and given it to the people.

Edward Bernays

Sincerity is a much overrated virtue. We are all capable of persuading ourselves that what is good for us is good for the country.

Milton Friedman

It is the American example that deserves the most credit for the global spread of democratic politics and free-market economies. . . . The world of today is a world that we invented.

Thomas Friedman

Many economic fallacies are due to conceiving of economic activity as a zero-sum contest, in which what is gained by one is lost by another.

Paul Skousen

A monarch’s neck should always have a noose around it. It keeps him upright.

Robert A. Heinlein

The mystery of government is not how it works, but how to make it stop.

P.J. O’Rourke

It is characteristic of all deep human problems that they are not to be approached without some humor and some bewilderment.

Freeman Dyson

John Adams

For the spiritual power of a sacrament is like light in this way: . . . if it passes through the impure it is not defiled.

Augustine of Hippo

If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be.

Yogi Berra

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.
