Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons.

In the literal sense there has been no relevant evolution since the trek from Africa. But there has been substantial progress towards higher standards of rights justice and freedom - along with all too many illustrations of how remote is the goal of a decent society.

America is just the country that how all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind. There the politician has come to be looked upon as the very scum of society.

The magic of America is that we're a free and open society with a mixed population. Part of our security is our freedom.

The political core of any movement for freedom in the society has to have the political imperative to protect free speech.

When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.

In many respects the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society.

If we as a society are willing to have a preference for organic food the farmer can pass on the savings.

A society that thinks the choice between ways of living is just a choice between equally eligible 'lifestyles' turns universities into academic cafeterias offering junk food for the mind.

I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer the beer stronger the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.

Clearly society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman's natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.

But now more and more its society is concerned with economy and finance.

It is incumbent upon each of us to improve spending and savings practices to ensure our own individual financial security and preserve the collective economic well-being of our great society.

The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare no matter what happens to the world that's not equity it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people.

Part of your heritage in this society is the opportunity to become financially independent.
