“There's only one honest way to measure affluence; that's by comparing the capability of producing goods and services with the desire of people to enjoy them. It's a lousy, crooked trick to compare this society with China or some such place and then say we're affluent. It's a piece of intellectual crookery even to compare this economy with itself ten or twenty years ago. We should compare what we have with what we could have.” PeopleWayShouldYearsWisdomDesirePoliticsEnjoyEconomyPiecesHonestTenIntellectualYears AgoTwentiesChinaTricksCompareLiberalismGoodsCapabilityCrookedAffluenceThis SocietyAffluentGoods And Services Author:Louis O.

“Some guys make their careers off one horse; kind of a trick horse, a wonder horse. I'm not knocking that, but for me I'm trying to get better and study. That means taking out new horses. It's a life study. When I've finished a horse, I turn him out and basically stop riding him, except taking him to the occasional branding so I can enjoy him.” TryingKindMeanI CanGuyTurnsEnjoyWonderCareersStudyHorseFinishedTricksGet BetterRidingBrandingOccasionalKnocking Author:Buck Brannaman
