- - And worrying is less work than doing something to fix the worry. [...] Everybody wants to save the earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.

- "Quando o governo controla o poder econômico dos indiduos e o poder coercivo do Estado... Isso viola a regra fundamental da vida feliz: nunca deixe as pessoas com todo o dinheiro e as pessoas com todas as armas serem as mesmas pessoas."
- - When a government controls both the economic power of individuals and the coercive power of the state ... This violates a fundamental rule of happy living: Never let the people with all the money and the people with all the guns be the same people.

- "Não há virtude na caridade compulsória governamental, e não há virtude em defende-la. Um político que se apresenta como cuidadoso e sensível porque ele quer expandir os programas de caridade do governo está meramente dizendo que ele está disposto a fazer o bem com o dinheiro dos outros. Bem, quem não está? E um eleitor que se orgulha em apoiar esses programas está nos dizendo que ele fará o bem com seu próprio dinheiro - se uma arma é mantida em sua cabeça."
- - There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money — if a gun is held to his head.

- "Os subsídios governamentais podem ser analisados criticamente de acordo com um princípio simples: Você é mais esperto do que o governo, então, quando o governo lhe paga para fazer algo que você não faria por conta própria, está quase sempre pagando para você fazer algo estúpido."
- - Government subsidies can be critically analyzed according to a simple principle: You are smarter than the government, so when the government pays you to do something you wouldn't do on your own, it is almost always paying you to do something stupid.
