“I don't think I've had to change anything, really, apart from being more serious and focussed on my drive. One thing I've realised is that you get out what you put in and because of that my work rate has increased ten fold.” ThinkingOne ThingSeriousTenRateFoldsRealised Author:Tinie Tempah
“There's one thing about freedom ... each generation of people begins by thinking they've got it for the first time in history, and ends by being sure the generation younger than themselves have too much of it. It can't really always have been increasing at the rate people suppose, or there would be more of it by now.” PeopleThinkingFirstsHas BeensEndsWould BeFreedomToo MuchGenerationsOne ThingFirst TimeRate Author:Rose Macaulay
“Often I have found that the one thing that can save is the thing which appears most to threaten ... one has to go down into what one most fears and in that process ... comes a saving flicker of light and energy that, even if it does not produce the courage of a hero, at any rate enables a trembling mortal to take one step further.” IfsDoeLightFoundEnergyProcessStepsOne ThingProduceHeroRateSavingMortalsTremblingFlicker Book:Feather Fall: An Anthology Source: Feather Fall: An Anthology

They can control it directly by open market operations, buying and selling government securities or other assets, for example, buying and selling gold, or they can control it indirectly by altering the rate at which banks lend to one another.” WayGovernmentOne ThingSecurityExampleGoldRateVariousSellingOperationsBuyingAssetsLiabilityCentral BanksBuying And Selling Author:Milton Friedman
“The most absurd public opinion polls are those on taxes. Now, if there is one thing we know about taxes, it is that people do not want to pay them. If they wanted to pay them, there would be no need for taxes. People would gladly figure out how much of their money that the government deserves and send it in. And yet we routinely hear about opinion polls that reveal that the public likes the tax level as it is and might even like it higher. Next they will tell us that the public thinks the crime rate is too low, or that the American people would really like to be in more auto accidents.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantNeedsGovernmentMightWould BeWantedNextLevelsPayOpinionOne ThingCrimeFiguresHigherTaxesLowsDeserveRateAccidentsLikesAbsurdPublic OpinionPollsCrime RatesOpinion Polls Author:Llewellyn Rockwell
“It's one thing to maintain that upper-income earners should pay higher tax rates because they are better able to shoulder the burden for essential government services.
