One of Lori's favorite quotes is:"Thomas Paine said, "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil." Our Bill of Rights is an explicit recognition of the Founding Fathers' distrust of Congress. Just look at its language, with phrases such as "Congress shall not abridge," "shall not infringe," "shall not deny," "disparage" and "violate." If the framers did not believe that Congress would abuse our God-given, or natural, rights, they would not have used such language. If, after we die, we see anything like the Bill of Rights at our next destination, we'll know that we're in hell. To demand such protections in heaven would be the same as saying we can't trust God. - Walter Williams
The heights of human ingenuity are offset only by the depths of human stupidity.
Everything said by Frederic Bastiat, especially this: Property does not exist because there are laws, but laws exist because there is property.
"The idea that political freedom can be preserved in the absence of economic freedom, and vice versa, is an illusion. Political freedom is the corollary of economic freedom . " – Ludwig von Mises
"People try to live within their income so they can afford to pay taxes to a government that can't live within its income." - Robert Half

dy else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply the wealth by dividing it - Dr Adrian Rogers
“In proportion to the mental energy he spent, the man who creates a new invention receives but a small percentage of his value in terms of material payment, no matter what fortune he makes, no matter what millions he earns. But the man who works as a janitor in the factory producing that invention, receives an enormous payment in proportion to the mental effort that his job requires of him. And the same is true of all men between, on all levels of ambition and ability. The man at the top of the intellectual pyramid contributes the most to all those below him, but gets nothing except his material payment, receiving no intellectual bonus from others to add to the value of his time. The man at the bottom who, left to himself, would starve in his hopeless ineptitude, contributes nothing to those above him, but receives the bonus of all of their brains. Such is the nature of the ‘competition’ between the strong and the weak of the intellect. Such is the pattern of ‘exploitation’ for which you have damned the strong.” — Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session - Mark Twain
If you think every problem has a solution you are a fool, and if you think the government has the solution to any problem you are a dangerous madman - Said by me to my Canadian husband while explaining to him why Calvin Coolidge was the last decent president this country had".
