What did the taxpayers get out of the Obama stimulus? More debt. That money wasn't just spent and wasted; it was borrowed, spent, and wasted. ~Paul Ryan
#quotes #paul-ryan #taxation

How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst

Even the Soviet Union, with its huge nuclear arsenal, was a threat that could be deterred by the prospect of retaliation. But suicide bombers cannot be deterred. They can only be annihilated; preemptively and unilaterally, if necessary. ~Thomas Sowell

Unnamed entertainment industry moguls are now telling the New York Times that they intend never to work with Mel Gibson again. After all, how dare Mel Gibson challenge the public by producing a film that spurs public discussion, that pushes the envelope, that takes an old story to a new level. How dare Mel Gibson follow his own passion as a filmmaker. How dare he make $20 million on the opening day box office! ~Laura Ingraham

Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time. ~Chinese Proverb

In very big companies, you find less entrepreneurialism than you really want to see. Success is defined as "don't make a mistake." And you get to be the C.E.O. by outlasting everybody else, then you're there for five or six years, and you want to get your bonus on the way out. ~Bernard L. Schwartz
#quotes #bernard-l-schwartz #entrepreneurship #ceo #success

True celebration should come from your life, in your life. And true celebration cannot be according to the calendar, that on the first of November you will celebrate. Strange, the whole year you are miserable and on the first of November suddenly you come out of misery, dancing. Either, the misery is false, or the first of November is false; both cannot be true. And once the first of November has gone, you are back in your dark hole, everybody in his misery, everybody in his anxiety. ~Rajneesh

A natural way that an economist approaches a problem is to say, here's where I think the economy is going; this is what we need to deal with the problem. ~Christina Romer

Our whole social environment seems to us to be filled with forces which really exist only in our own minds. ~Emile Durkheim

In the perception of the incongruous stimuli, the recognition process is temporarily thwarted and exhibits characteristics which are generally not observable in the recognition of more conventional stimuli. ~Jerome Bruner
