Ludwig von Mises Quote on the Role of Government in the Market Economy
“A famous, very often quoted phrase says: “That government is best, which governs least.” I do not believe this to be a correct description of of the functions of a good government. Government ought to do all the things for which it is needed and for which it is established. Government ought to protect the individuals within the country against the violent and fraudulent attacks of gangsters, and it should defend the country against foreign enemies. These are the functions of government within a free system, within the system of the market economy.”
Ludwig von Mises
Ludwig von Mises Quote on Economics and Power

Ludwig von Mises
Quote by Rudolf Virchow on Cellular Pathology and Chemistry
“Cellular pathology is not an end if one cannot see any alteration in the cell. Chemistry brings the clarification of living processes nearer than does anatomy. Each anatomical change must have been preceded by a chemical one.”
Rudolf Virchow
Quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry on Community and Patience
“Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations and generous emotions. It is idle, having planted an acorn in the morning, to expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of the oak.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
