• (The Income Tax) has made more liars out of the American people than golf.
  Will Rogers
• Competition is conducive to the continuous improvements of industrial efficiency. It leads…producers to eliminate wastes and cut costs so that they may undersell others…. It weeds out those whose costs remain high and thus operates to concentrate production in the hands of those whose costs are low.
  Clair Wilcox
• Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.
  Frederic Bastiat
• I am for a government rigorously frugal and simple. Were we directed from Washington when to sow, when to reap, we should soon want bread.
  Thomas Jefferson
• "What's the single most important thing to learn from an economics course today? What I tried to leave my students with is the view that the invisible hand is more powerful than the hidden hand. Things will happen in well-organized efforts without direction, controls, plans. That's the consensus among economists. That's the Hayek legacy."
  Lawrence Summers (U.S. Treasury)
• The most famous law in economics, and the one economists are most sure of, is the law of demand. On this law is built almost the whole edifice of economics.
  David R. Henderson
• A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.
  Mark Twain
• Monopolists, by keeping the market constantly understocked, by never fully supplying the effectual demand, sell their commodities much above the natural price, and raise their emoluments, whether they consist of wages or profit, greatly above their natural rate.
  Adam Smith
• "Every individual intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his original intention. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of society more effectively than when he really intends to promote it."
  Adam Smith (1776)
• If you had your life to live over again - you'd need more money.
