Cush JumboWhen private industry makes a mistake, it gets corrected and goes away. As governments make mistakes, it gets bigger, bigger and bigger and they make more, more and more because as they run out of money, they just ask for more and so they get rewarded for making mistakes.

Peter SchiffOne method of staying ahead of rising asset prices and the declining dollar is to think bigger and come up with better plans.

Donald TrumpSo silently, peacefully, without hurry, without any tension, without any anguish, move into yourself instantly. It is urgent. Unless meditation becomes urgent to you, it will never happen; you will die before it. Put meditation on your laundry list as the most important, urgent... number one.

And before you finish your laundry list, you are finished, so the time for meditation never comes.

Roz SavageThe economy in the next 20 to 25 years is going to change more than they did in the last 20, 25 years. And that's because exponential trends are affecting a bigger and bigger share of the economy.

But I think they'll be comparable to the innovations we saw in the past 20, 25 years if not greater.

God d*mn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.

Craig FinnThe Jews have a powerful ally, America, but they do not really have a bigger family in the same way that there is a European family or an Arab-Muslim family.
