“I feel as if I’m in on a pass and am damn lucky to have whatever I have. It could all be taken away in a second.”

We are mortgaging ourselves to foreigners on a scale that would make George Washington cry. Every day – every single day – we borrow a billion dollars from foreigners to buy petroleum from abroad, often from countries that hate us.

Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.

Nothing happens by itself… it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions.

I agree that there are some bad apples on Wall Street. I spent about ten years exposing corporate and financial fraud for ‘Barron’s’ magazine and I found a lot to write about.

Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done.

It isn’t the rich people’s fault that poor people are poor. Poor people who get an education and work hard in this country will stop being poor. That should be the goal for all poor people everywhere.

Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place. Science leads you to killing people.

I don’t really consider myself to be a personal finance expert compared with some others. There are quite a few that know a lot more than I do.

Darwinism is still very much alive, utterly dominating biology. Despite the fact that no one has ever been able to prove the creation of a single distinct species by Darwinist means, Darwinism dominates the academy and the media.

My feeling is that Darwinism is only at best a partial solution, and an extremely dangerous partial solution.

The sad fact is that spending rises every year, no matter what people want or say they want.

I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.

I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God.

And now, any of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.

People getting rich in a free society in general – with some scammy exceptions, which are rare – makes everyone else richer, too.

The American system is the most successful in the world because it harmonizes best with the aims and longings of human personality while allowing the best protection to other personalities.

I’m one of the luckiest people on Earth.

I was lucky to be with Johnny… he taught me a lot about fame.

I never met another man I’d rather be. And even if that’s a delusion, it’s a lucky one.

Stop judging yourself and appreciate how lucky you are every day.

I knew I was blessed with a gift of having both parents.

Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.

Beauty is nothing, beauty won’t stay. You don’t know how lucky you are to be ugly, because if people like you, you know it’s for something else.

I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. But many others were also in the same place. The difference was that I took action.
