Some people say that taxes are the price we pay for civilization. But the runaway taxes of our time are the price we pay for being gullible.

Reality is not optional.

We are... living in a free society without the faith that built that society - and without the conviction and dedication needed to sustain it... We still have the cathedral of freedom but how long will it last without the faith?

Credentialed ignorance is still ignorance.

The great escape of our times is escape from personal responsibility for the consequences of one's own behavior.

If politicians stopped meddling with things they don't understand, there would be a more drastic reduction in the size of government than anyone in either party advocates.

Neither the depth of despondency nor the height of euphoria tells you how long either will last.
