To live beyond your means today is to live below them tomorrow.

There is no escape from the vast imbalances in international trade and finance. They will be corrected, sooner or later, by the inexorable principles that govern human action.

We are ever aware that politics is an ugly struggle that determines 'who gets what, when, and how.'

The social philosophy of individual freedom and unhampered private property must again be our guiding light.
