"Just what is it that academics have..." - Quote by Thomas Sowell

“If you truly believe in the brotherhood of man, then you must believe that blacks are just as capable of being racists as whites are.”

“Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "Think things, not words." In words, many see a need for "social justice" to override "the dictates of the market." In reality, what is called "the market" consists of human beings making their own choices at their own cost. What is called "social justice" is government imposition of the notions of third parties, who pay no price for being wrong.”

“To say the Constitution is living is to say that it's dead.”

“Common sense without education, is better than education without common sense.”

“Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”

“If the children are untaught, their ignorance and vices will in future life cost us much dearer in their consequences than it would have done in their correction by a good education.”

“…there's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is - common decency.”

“Decency is the least of all laws, but yet it is the law which is most strictly observed.”

“Decency cannot be discussed without indecency!”
