"Don't worry about this world; it is not broken. And don't worry about others. You worry more about them than they do.

Don't try to protect people from life; just let them have their experience while you focus upon your own experience."

"Repeal that [welfare] law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. ... Six days shalt thou labor, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them."

"Inflation is not caused by the actions of private citizens, but by the government: by an artificial expansion of the money supply required to support deficit spending.

"Looking back at the worst times, it always seems that they were times in which there were people who believed with absolute faith and absolute dogmatism in something.

And then they would do things that were directly inconsistent with their own beliefs in order to maintain that what they said was true."
