We borrow from the nations we defend so that we may continue to defend them. To question this is an unpardonable heresy called 'isolationism.'~ Patrick J. Buchanan Concepts of justice must have hands and feet or they remain sterile abstractions. The hands and feet we need are efficient means and methods to carry out justice in every case in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost.~ Justice Warren E. Burger The age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists and calculators has succeeded.~ Edmund Burke No legal tender law is ever needed to make men take good money; its only use is to make them take bad money.~ Stephen T. Byington Our tax system is based on individual self-assessment and voluntary compliance.~ Mortimer Caplin Democracy is, by the nature of it, a self-canceling buisness: and gives in the long run a net result of zero.~ Thomas Carlyle As the federal government has progressively become larger over the decades, every significant introduction of government regulation, taxation and spending has been to the benefit of some big business.~ Timothy P. Carney Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.~ Douglas Casey Each peso [or dollar] is a contract between the government and the peso holder. That contract guarantees that each peso -- as a unit of value that the holder has worked hard to get -- will be worth as much tomorrow as today. If the government breaks the contract, it's breaking the law. The only role of government in the economy should be to guarantee the integrity of market transactions.~ Domingo Cavallo One of the most insidious consequences of the present burden of personal income tax is that it strips many middle class families of financial reserves & seems to lend support to campaigns for socialized medicine, socialized housing, socialized food, socialized every thing. The personal income tax has made the individual vastly more dependent on the State & more avid for state hand-outs. It has shifted the balance in America from an individual-centered to a State-centered economic & social system.~ W. H. Chamberlin Money for me has only one sound: liberty.~ Gabrielle Chanel The legal tender quality [of money] is only valuable for the purposes of dishonesty.~ Justice Salmon Chase For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible.~ Stuart Chase Any one of the strange laws we suffer is a compromise between a fad and a vested interest.~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton It was the mystical dogma of Bentham and Adam Smith and the rest, that some of the worst of human passions would turn out to be all for the best. It was the mysterious doctrine that selfishness would do the work of unselfishness.~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton The Act of Congress which we are impugning before you is communistic in its purposes and tendencies, and is defended here upon principles as communistic, socialistic - what shall I call them - populistic as ever have been addressed to any political assembly in the world.~ Joseph H. Choate Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.~ Sir Winston Churchill You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer.~ Sir Winston Churchill In finance, everything that is agreeable is unsound.~ Winston Churchill Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
