Pedestrians never seem to realize that they are a threat to the safety of cars.

One of the most pervasive political visions of our time is the vision of liberals as compassionate and conservatives as less caring.

The government is indeed an institution, but "the market" is nothing more than an option for each individual to chose among numerous existing institutions, or to fashion new arrangements suited to his own situation and taste.

A friend from India told me that a countryman of his said: "I want to go to America. I want to see a country where poor people are fat."

It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites.

Our national problems usually do not cause nearly as much harm as the solutions.

The vision of the left, full of envy and resentment, takes its worst toll on those at the bottom - whether black or white - who find in that paranoid vision an excuse for counterproductive and ultimately self-destructive attitudes and behavior.
