AGELESS WIT AND OBSERVATIONS

"If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the

newspaper you are misinformed."

Mark Twain

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress....

But then I repeat myself.

-Mark Twain

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like

a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

-Winston Churchill

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the

support of Paul.

-.George Bernard Shaw

A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which

debt he proposes to pay off with your money.

-G Gordon Liddy

Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on

what to have for dinner.

-James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994)

Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in

rich countries to rich people in poor countries.

-Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown

University

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys

to teenage boys.

-P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to

live at the expense of everybody else.

-Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850)

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short

phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it

stops moving, subsidize it.

-Ronald Reagan (1986)

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

-Will Rogers

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it

costs when it's free!

-P.J. O'Rourke

In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as

possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.

-Voltaire (1764)

Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean

politics won't take an interest in you!

-Pericles (430 B.C.)

No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in

session.

-Mark Twain (1866)

Talk is cheap...except when Congress does it.

-Unknown

The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite

at one end and no responsibility at the other.

-Ronald Reagan

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings.

The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.

-Winston Churchill

The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the

taxidermist leaves the skin.

-Mark Twain

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to

fill the world with fools.

-Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903)

There is no distinctly Native American criminal class...save Congress.

-Mark Twain

What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.

-Edward Langley, Artist (1928 - 1995)

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong

enough to take everything you have.

-Thomas Jefferson

It's not the heat,

it's the humility.
