“The course of a great statesman resembles that of navigable rivers, avoiding immovable obstacles with noble bends of concession, seeking the broad levels of opinion on which men soonest settle and longest dwell, following and marking the almost imperceptible slopes of national tendency, yet always aiming at direct advances, always recruited from sources nearer heaven, and sometimes bursting open paths of progress and fruitful human commerce through what seem the eternal barriers of both.” MenHumansSometimesSeemsCoursesHeavenLevelsOpinionPathProgressSourceEternalRiversDirectSeekingFollowingObstaclesNobleTendenciesSettlingBarriersBroadsCommerceAvoidingStatesmenSlopesBurstingConcessions Book:My Study Windows Source: My Study Windows

“The whole realm of thought and opinion is utterly unsuited to public control; it ought to be as free, and as spontaneous as is possible.

“I submit that tennis is the most beautiful sport there is, and also the most demanding....Basketball comes close, but it's a team sport and lacks tennis's primal mano a mano intensity. Boxing might come close- at least at the lighter weight divisions- but the actual physical damage the fighters inflict on each other makes it too concretely brutal to be really beautiful- a level of abstraction and formality (i.e., play) is necessary for a sport to possess true metaphysical beauty (in my opinion).” PlayMightBeautifulSportsLevelsOpinionTeamBasketballWeightFighterDamageTennisBoxingDivisionIntensitySubmitBrutalMetaphysicalAbstractionPrimalLightersReally BeautifulSports TeamFormalityPhysical Beauty Author:David Foster Wallace

“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
