• 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
• Capitalism and Communism stand at opposite poles. Their essential difference is this: The communist seeing the rich man and his fine home, says: “No man should have so much.” The capitalist, seeing the same thing says: “All men should have as much.”
  Phelps Adams
• The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward.
  John Maynard Keynes
• The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
  Abraham Lincoln
• In the early stages of the Keynesian revolution, macroeconomists emphasized fiscal policy as the most powerful and balanced remedy for demand management. Gradually, shortcomings of fiscal policy became apparent. The shortcomings stem from timing, politics, macroeconomic theory, and the deficit itself.
  Paul A. Samuelson and William D. Nordhaus
• 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

  Franklin Roosevelt
• From the standpoint of society as a whole, the “cost” of anything is the value that it has in alternative uses.
  Thomas Sowell
• From the point of view of physics, it is a miracle that [seven million New Yorkers are fed each day] without any control mechanism other than sheer capitalism.
