The government doesn't create wealth of its own; it can only take it from some and distribute it to others or dictate particular public uses of private resources.

With its brutal excesses and reliance on snitches and finks as informants, I don't think it's far off-kilter to describe the modern-day drug war as oddly similar to the Salem witch trials.

Political changes and reforms do not usually favor the general populace. They benefit those who are positioned to best organize and advocate for their policies.

Money spent in complying with a regulation cannot be spent again on marketing or product research.

Advocacy groups, politicians, and bureaucrats use the government to advance their private good instead of the common good.

As government increases in quantity, our lives decrease in quality.

Laws do not curb the lawless. After all, that's why we call them 'lawless.'

The more government does, the greater chance that its efforts will be tilted toward a particular group's good, instead of the common good.

Bureaucracies typically move slowly, clumsily, and without much regard for the wants and needs of the people they supposedly serve.

The only way to effectively secure the common good is for the government to remain small.

Instead of doing more badly, government should focus on doing less well.

Hope burns eternal in the human heart.

In every age 'the good old days' were a myth. No one ever thought they were good at the time. For every age has consisted of crises that seemed intolerable to the people who lived through them.

And in an issue with this kind of concern to a committee that bears the oversight responsibility, I think you can see that we're very dismayed about it .

You guys (E.L.F.) are all so precious for me. Can't be changed with other things.

Give me a lamp so I can find the day.

Photography must be integrated with the story.

The (stock) market is there only as a reference point to see if anybody is offering to do anything foolish. When we invest in stocks, we invest in businesses.
