The Major Political Event Of The Twentieth

Somehow, The Fact That More Poor People Are On Welfare, Receiving More Generous Payments, Does Not Seem To Have Made This Country A Nice Place To Live - Not Even For The Poor On Welfare, Whose Condition Seems Not Noticeably Better Than When They Were Poor And Off Welfare. Something Appears To Have Gone Wrong; A Liberal And Compassionate Social Policy Has Bred All Sorts Of Unanticipated And Perverse Consequences.

I Have Observed Over The Years That The Unanticipated Consequences Of Social Action Are Always More Important, And Usually Less Agreeable, Than The Intended Consequences.

Being Frustrated Is Disagreeable, But The Real Disasters Of Life Begin When You Get What You Want.

The Enemy Of Liberal Capitalism Today Is Not So Much Socialism As Nihilism.

An Intellectual May Be Defined As A Man Who Speaks With General Authority About A Subject On Which He Has No Particular Competence.
