I agree with George Washington's concern about parties: They become an end in themselves, rather than being committed to helping people improve their lives.

Just keep trying things, without really understanding the underlying fibers of well-being, or peace or civility, then you're just going to stumble from one disaster to another.

The essence of a university is free and open inquiry, and when it loses that it is no longer a university.

A classical liberal is someone who wants a society that maximizes peace, civility, tolerance, and well-being for everyone. One that opens opportunities for everyone to advance themselves.

In America, we are just moving the chairs around and spending huge amounts of money rather than having them go in making people's lives better.

Our system here of creating value for others and having people do the right thing, exchange information, and so on only works if people have the right values.

Anytime students shout down a speaker who says something different, this is not good.
