Some of my favorite quotes:We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. Anaïs NinSuccess is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.Winston ChurchillGenius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.Elbert HubbardNot everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.Albert EinsteinThere are three intolerable things in life - cold coffee, lukewarm champagne, and overexcited women.Orson WellesI do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.Galileo GalileiWe must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.Hillary Clinton, 1993To be Irish is to know that in the end the world will break your heart.Daniel Patrick Moynihan"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president." [Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents ]The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.. [Ayn Rand]The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods.[H. L. Mencken]America's abundance was created not by public sacrifices to 'the common good,' but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America's industrialization. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance -- and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way.[Ayn Rand]Politicians never accuse you of 'greed' for wanting other people's money --- only for wanting to keep your own money. [Joseph Sobran]In general the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to the other.[Voltaire]For the love of God, shake me! Shake me like a British nanny!If brute force isn't working, you're not using enough!That's a long time in gay yearsHut WaldropGod... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive.Ayn RandPotentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.Ayn RandœThe greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government- Milton Friedman...œIf you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe- Carl Sagan
