Friday Quote – Dave Chappelle

My question is to what extent to I have to participate in your self-image?
Friday Quote – Brandon L. Bradford
It’s easy to make everything a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.
Friday Quote – Alexander Solzhenitsyn
The simple step of a courageous individual is not to partake in the lie.
One word of truth outweighs the whole world.
Friday Quote – Peter G. Klein
Under interventionism companies must employ large staffs of lawyers, accountants, lobbyists, public relations teams, and others who focus not on creating economic value, but on satisfying legal, tax, regulatory, and other government requirements.
That large firms are filled with such non-productive employees is not, Mises writes in *Human Action*, “a phenomenon of the unhampered market economy”, bit a result of government policy.
Friday Quote – Nancy Jane Moore
“A criminal attack is always the fault of the attacker. The purpose of self defense is to limit your vulnerability to criminals, not to make you responsible for their bad actions.”

Bad books on writing tell you to “write what you know”, a solemn and extremely false adage that is the reason there exist so many mediocre novels about English professors contemplating adultery.
Friday Quote – Henry Hazlitt
The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects – his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity.
Friday Quote – Ron Paul
The most important element of a free society is the rejection of the initiation of violence.
Friday Quote – Larry Reed
Making war on ideas is not far removed from making war on people because ideas possess no existence apart from the minds of people. Those who seek to kill ideas – rather than debate them, advance them, or debunk them – are killers of humanity.
