Some quotes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly in government is any benefit, however small, considered to be worth any cost, however large.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe history of the 20th century is full of examples of countries that set out to redistribute wealth and ended up redistributing poverty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[N]othing is easier than disarming peaceful people \u2014 thereby leaving them more vulnerable to people who are not peaceful, who can simply ignore the restrictions that others obey.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have never understood why it is \u2018greed\u2019 to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else\u2019s money.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who pride themselves on their \u2018complexity\u2019 and deride others for being \u2018simplistic\u2019 should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDespite a voluminous and often fervent literature on \u2018income distribution,\u2019 the cold fact is that most income is not distributed: It is earned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIntellect is not wisdom.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSocialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n
