Gary ChapmanSin does not always drive us to drink; more often it drives us to exhaustion. Tiredness is equally as debilitating as drunkenness.

Emily CarrFor several centuries Western civilization has had a drive for material accumulation, continual extensions of economic power, termed 'progress'...The longing for growth is not wrong.

Gary SnyderIt turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics. Why? Because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth.

Richard G. ScottI like playing... I don't know. I think that's what was really exciting about playing Knives, too, from the beginning was that you get to kind of do both of that.

Ellen WongOne of the reasons that the Senate was structured and founded the way it is, as opposed to the House, it was designed for gridlock. It was designed to stop massive new laws being passed and voted on daily. It was designed to stop the growth of government.
Rush LimbaughI'm very primitive in terms of economics. The kind of new business in which stock gets more valuable because the company grows, but there must be limits to growth.

Irving KristolThe mere possession of monopoly power, and the concomitant charging of monopoly prices, is not only not unlawful, it is an important element of the free-market system.
