"Intellectuals may like to think of themselves..." - Quote by Thomas Sowell

“People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.”

“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”

“If you have a right to respect, that means other people don't have a right to their own opinions.”

“England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality.”

“The talkers and writers resent being left on the sidelines by the doers.”

“Some full professors could more accurately be described as empty professors.”

“The confidant of my vices is my master, though he were my valet.”

“How has all the knowledge in the world been gained but by the concentration of the powers of the mind? The world is ready to give up its secrets if we only know how to knock, how to give it the necessary blow. The strength and force of the blow come through concentration. There is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on one point; that is the secret.”

“Do the thing and you will have the power.”
