The government is good at one thing. It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, "See if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk".

Conservatives say the government can't end poverty by force, but they believe it can use force to make people moral. Liberals say government can't make people be moral, but they believe it can end poverty. Neither group attempts to explain why government is so clumsy and destructive in one area but a paragon of efficiency and benevolence in the other.

The free market punishes irresponsibility. Government rewards it.

When you know that you're capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer.

When you give up the hope that some advisor, some system, some source of inside tips is going to give you a shortcut to wealth, you'll finally begin to gain control over your financial future.

Profit is a reward for satisfying the desire of someone else.

What we really need is compassion of the mind - compassion for others that is directed intelligently and produces truly compassionate results.
