"There is nothing so bad that politics..." - Quote by Thomas Sowell

“Too much of what is called 'education' is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.”

“If facts, logic, and scientific procedures are all just arbitrarily "socially constructed" notions, then all that is left is consensus--more specifically peer consensus, the kind of consensus that matters to adolescents or to many among the intelligentsia.”

“More than half of all people filing income tax forms use someone else to prepare the forms for them. Then they have to sign under penalty of perjury that these forms are correct. But if they were competent to determine that, why would they have to pay someone else to do their taxes for them in the first place?”

“The happiness of society depends so much on preventing party spirit from infecting the common intercourse of life, that nothing should be spared to harmonize and amalgamate the two parties in social circles.”

“The avowed policy of non-co-operation has been not to make political use of the disputes between labour and capital.”

“People are very hungry for something new. I think they are interested in being called to be a part of something larger than the sort of small, petty, slash-and-burn politics that we have been seeing over the last several years.”

“It may be argued that peoples for whom philosophers legislate are always prosperous.”

“The true policy of government is to make use of aristocracy, but under the forms and in the spirit of democracy.”

“The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.”
