But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism.”

“Eight days ago, we were the toast of the town. Eight days later we're Thanksgiving turkeys.”

“People in the political world have every incentive to say things that lead voters away from a clear economic understanding of issues. What has happened more and more is that organized groups have more and more reasons to say things that don't make any economic sense.”

“Public opinion is the thermometer a monarch should constantly consult.”
