-Ayn Rand
"Progress comes from trial and error, when we're free to try things and free to reject ideas that don't work. That makes me optimistic about the future. The problem comes when people either try to stamp out experimentation or try to cram one possibly hare-brained scheme down everyone's throat."
-Virginia Postel
"Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else."
-Frederic Bastiat
