"Most gun control arguments miss the point. If all control boils fundamentally to force, how can one resist aggression without equal force? How can a truly “free” state exist if the individual citizen is enslaved to the forceful will of individual or organized aggressors? It cannot." Tiffany Madison

Henry Ford quote about investing in yourself through study, skill, and preparationCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself." Henry Ford

James M. Buchanan quote about balanced budgets and money creation in the United StatesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"I have long been in favor of a balanced budget restriction at the level of the federal government of the United States. Because the federal government has money-creating powers it can, in fact, be very damaging if it runs a series of budget deficits.
