"Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good soup." ― Ludwig van Beethoven Topic(s): Government More From Ludwig van Beethoven "Recommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience." "Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend." "Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life." More In Government "Some people object to libertarian ideas because there are too many irresponsible people in the world – people who will cause trouble if the government doesn’t restrain them."― Harry Browne "Music is more difficult – try naming a political band. The Dead Kennedys. The Dead Kennedys are political, but they are more funny than they are political."― Thom Yorke "In a clean break from the Obama years, and frankly from the years before this president, we will keep federal spending at 20 percent of GDP, or less. That is enough. The choice is whether to put hard limits on economic growth, or hard limits on the size of government, and we choose to limit government."― Paul Ryan
