"The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem." ― Milton Friedman Topic(s): Death More From Milton Friedman "The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy." "Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program." "Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government." More In Death "Quarreling over food and drink, having neither scruples nor shame, not knowing right from wrong, not trying to avoid death or injury, not fearful of greater strength or of greater numbers, greedily aware only of food and drink – such is the bravery of the dog and boar."― Xun Zi "People think celebrities don’t have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It’s like you’ve traveled to this Land of Celebrity, this other country."― David Duchovny "Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one."― Vladimir Nabokov
