Classic Truths by Great Realistic Thinkers

conclusion that one useless man

is a shame, two is a law firm,

and three or more is a congress.

-- John Adams



2. If you don't read the newspaper

you are uninformed, if you do

read the newspaper you are

misinformed. -- Mark Twain



3. Suppose you were an idiot. And

suppose you were a member of

Congress. But then I repeat

myself. -- Mark Twain

tax itself into prosperity is like a

man standing in a bucket and

trying to lift himself up by the

handle. --Winston Churchill

pay Paul can always depend on

the support of Paul.

-- George Bernard Shaw



6. A liberal is someone who feels a

great debt to his fellow man,

which debt he proposes to pay off

with your money.

more than two wolves and a sheep

voting on what to have for

dinner.

transfer of money from poor

people in rich countries to rich

people in poor countries.

government is like giving whiskey

and car keys to teenage boys.

through which everybody

endeavors to live at the expense

of everybody else.

-- Frederic Bastiat, French economist (1801-1850)



11. Government's view of the

economy could be summed up

in a few short phrases: If it

moves, tax it. If it keeps

moving, regulate it. And if it

stops moving, subsidize it.

--Ronald Reagan (1986)



12. I don't make jokes. I just watch

the government and report the

facts. -- Will Rogers

expensive now, wait until you

see what it costs when it's free!

14. In general, the art of government

consists of taking as much

money as possible from one

party of the citizens to give to

the other. --Voltaire (1764)



15. Just because you do not take an

interest in politics doesn't mean

politics won't take an interest

in you! -- Pericles (430 B.C.)

property is safe while the

legislature is in session.

-- Mark Twain (1866)

alimentary canal, with a happy

appetite at one end and no

responsibility at the other.

the unequal sharing of the

blessings. The inherent blessing

of socialism is the equal sharing

of misery. -- Winston Churchill

tax man and a taxidermist is that

the taxidermist leaves the skin.

men from the effects of folly is

you everything you want, is

you have. -- Thomas Jefferson
