Since this is an era when many people are concerned about 'fairness' and 'social justice,' what is your 'fair share' of what someone else has worked for?

If we spend our time with regrets over yesterday, and worries over what might happen tomorrow, we have no today in which to live.

When we hear about rent control or gun control, we may think about rent or guns but the word that really matters is 'control.'

The worst kind of people to have in government are those who see it as a golden opportunity to impose their own superior wisdom and virtue on others.
