I must confess that if I had been consulted whether to establish a Nobel Prize in economics, I should have decidedly advised against it.

The idea of social justice is that the state should treat different people unequally in order to make them equal.

If socialists understood economics, they wouldn't be socialist.

There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal.

'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.

The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.

[Socialistic] economic planning, regulation, and intervention pave the way to totalitarianism by building a power structure that will inevitably be seized by the most power-hungry and unscrupulous.

In government, the scum rises to the top.

Social justice rests on the hate towards those that enjoy a comfortable position, namely, upon envy.

The more the state "plans" the more difficult planning becomes for the individual.

(Everyday life is like a sack: with holes. And you carry it anyway.)

I am of the very last generation who didn't have computers at school. As we grow old we'll become something of an aberration.

I watch virtually no TV. All my screen time is computer time for me. When I'm not doing that I'm reading or talking to my friends who I got to know through computers.

Whatever God is urging you to clear away cannot begin to be compared to what He ultimately wants to bring you.

It is a rare and high privilege to be in a position to help people understand the differences that they can make not only in their own lives but in the lives of others by simply giving of themselves.

To generate great power you must first totally relax and gather your strength, and then concentrate your mind and all your strength on hitting your target.

When I want to play music, you've got to get me on tape or else it goes.

Adversity is not a dead end but a detour to a better outcome than you can imagine!

And there'd be no more jokes in Music-halls To mock the riddled corpses round Bapaume.

As resolute as I feel about my convictions, if I'm wrong, I'm man enough to say I'm wrong, because I find it a rare occasion anyway.
