"When the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance; when the church governs, he is ruled by superstition; and when the state governs, he is ruled by fear. Before men can live together in harmony and understanding, ignorance must be transmuted into wisdom, superstition into an illuminated faith, and fear into love." Manly P. Hall

"Freedom begins exactly where you stop bending yourself just to belong. There will always be people who don’t understand you—and that’s okay. Your worth is not defined by whether others accept you, but by having the courage to stand by who you are and to bring your own truth into the world with love and strength." Andrea Hein

"If you have an area where high-income receivers concentrate, you have a higher fiscal capacity. That fiscal capacity is a valuable resource and will create rent-seeking. People will trying to get that resource one way or the other, including immigration. It is very much like the medieval peasants putting their sheep on the commons pasture. It is better than the open range, and if you let them have open access they will, in fact, put too many sheep on the pasture and waste the value that the pasture has." James M. Buchanan
David Icke quote about success, footballers, garbage collectors, and the value of essential workCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"A friend at school was always being laughed at because his father emptied dustbins for a living. But those who laughed worshipped famous footballers. This is an example of our topsy-turvy view of 'success.' Who would we miss most if they did not work for a month, the footballer or the garbage collector?" David Icke
James M. Buchanan quote about balanced budgets and money creation in the United StatesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I have long been in favor of a balanced budget restriction at the level of the federal government of the United States. Because the federal government has money-creating powers it can, in fact, be very damaging if it runs a series of budget deficits. With the state government in the United States, they don't have money-creating powers. The automatic discipline imposed by the fact that they are in a common monetary unit and don't have control over the money power means that the balanced budget restriction is less needed." James M. Buchanan

/
"People share a universal behavioural trait: if there are profits to be made, the effort to get that money will attract investment. This is true in the private sector, the market sector, as well as the public sector." James M. Buchanan
Jimmy Carter discussing his memories of the Great Depression and unemploymentCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"In the Great Depression in which I grew up and remember vividly, unemployment was over 25 percent, and over 35 percent where I lived. A grown man would work all day, 16 hours, for a dollar. I remember hundreds of people walking by, people who had come down from the North just to get warm. They would come to our house as beggars even though they might have a college education. People didn't have money. They bartered; they'd trade eggs or pigs. It was just completely different." Jimmy Carter
