“One man with courage makes a majority.” — Andrew Jackson

“A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take; if he has the guts, he will take it.” — Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.

“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did.” — T. E. Lawrence

“Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing—and keeping the unknown always beyond you. Catching, crystallizing your simpler clearer vision of life—only to see it turn stale compared to what you vaguely feel ahead—that you must always keep working to your grasp.” — Georgia O'Keeffe

“A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.” — Bob Dylan

“Truth and clarity are complementary.” — Niels Bohr

“Intellect distinguishes between the possible and the impossible; reason distinguishes between the sensible and the senseless. Even the possible can be senseless.” — Max Born

“The truth is more important than the facts.” — Frank Lloyd Wright

“In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.” — Hunter S. Thompson

“Economics is not about things and tangible material objects; it is about men, their meanings and actions.” — Ludwig von Mises

“Economic control is not merely control of a sector of human life which can be separated from the rest; it is the control of the means for all our ends. And whoever has control of the means must also determine which ends are to be served, which values are to be rated higher and which lower, in short, what men should believe and strive for.” — Friedrich A. Hayek

“Man should not be in the service of society, society should be in the service of man. When man is in the service of society, you have a monster state, and that’s what is threatening the world at this minute.” — Joseph Campbell

“Directly, voluntary action—free exchange—leads to the mutual benefit of both parties to the exchange. Indirectly, as our investigations have shown, the network of these free exchanges in society—known as the ‘free market’—creates a delicate and even awe-inspiring mechanism of harmony, adjustment, and precision in allocating productive resources, deciding upon prices, and gently but swiftly guiding the economic system toward the greatest possible satisfaction of the desires of all the consumers. In short, not only does the free market directly benefit all parties and leave them free and uncoerced; it also creates a mighty and efficient instrument of social order. Proudhon, indeed, wrote better than he knew when he called ‘Liberty, the mother, not the daughter, of order’.” — Murray N. Rothbard

“He who seeks for methods without having a definite problem in mind seeks in the most part in vain.” — David Hilbert

“No rational argument will have a rational effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude.” — Karl Popper

“Habits of thought persist through the centuries; and while a healthy brain may reject the doctrine it no longer believes, it will continue to feel the same sentiments formerly associated with that doctrine.” — Charlotte Perkins Gilman

“None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
