“Nobody spends somebody else’s money as carefully as he spends his own.”

Governments never learn. Only people learn.

Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

The excuse for the destruction of liberty is always the plea of necessary ‘ that there is no alternative.

There’s nothing that does so much harm as good intentions.

A free man will ask neither what his country can do for him nor what he can do for his country.

Higher taxes never reduce the deficit. Governments spend whatever they take in and then whatever they can get away with.

Is it really true that political self-interest is nobler somehow than economic self-interest?

You never can cure poverty. Poverty is in the eye of the beholder.

The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus.

The great virtue of a free market is that it enables people who hate each other, or who are from vastly different religious or ethnic backgrounds, to cooperate economically. Government intervention can’t do that.

There are severe limits to the good that the government can do for the economy, but there are almost no limits to the harm it can do.

The government doesn’t have any money. The only power it has is to take from some and give to others.

Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned.

When everybody owns something, nobody owns it, and nobody has a direct interest in maintaining or improving its condition. That is why buildings in the Soviet Union – like public housing in the United States – look decrepit within a year or two of their construction.

The growing role that the government has played in financing and administering schooling has led not only the enormous waste of taxpayers money but also to a far poorer educational system.

In the 1960s, The National Education Association changed its character. The NEA changed into a union. And from that point on you can see deterioration in the quality of schooling in the United States.

You pull away and suddenly I have more room to grow.

Don’t neglect yourself taking care of someone else. You don’t owe anyone your time, a quick text back, or emotional support when you need to be giving it to yourself first.

Stop caring about what other people think of you – they will not create your success.

I have such a big heart, but once I stop caring – its wrap.

Work for the things that you care about.

I know i say i don’t care, but if you were on the verge of dying i’d give you my life.

Take care of your body because it’s always trying to take care of you.

Everybody who cares about me wants me to do therapy, but I just can’t do therapy.
