Expenses Quotes - Page 8

• The income tax is the biggest single intrusion suffered by the American people. It forces every worker to be a bookkeeper, to open his records to the government, to explain his expenses, to fear conviction for a harmless accounting error. Compliance wastes billions of dollars. It penalizes savings and creates an enormous drag on the U.S. economy. It is incompatible with a free society, and we aren’t libertarians if we tolerate it.

• Con una consistencia infalible, la intervención estadounidense ha estado del lado de los ricos y poderosos de varias naciones a expensas de los pobres y necesitados. En lugar de fortalecer las democracias, los dirigentes estadounidenses han derrocado a numerosos gobiernos elegidos democráticamente u otros regímenes populistas en docenas de países... siempre que estas naciones dan pruebas de anteponer los intereses de su pueblo a los intereses de las corporaciones multinacionales.

• For power can guarantee the interests of some men but it can never foster the good of man. Power always protects the good of some at the expense of all the others. Only love can attain and preserve the good of all. Any claim to build the security of all on force is a manifest imposture.

• I was amplifying the negative at the expense of the positive, not to serve any useful function, not to make my writing better, but to destroy it. The lizard brain, so attuned to people laughing behind our backs, was on high alert for this sort of criticism and would do anything it could to stop me from writing again. I haven't sought out and read a review or a tweet since.

• Si careces del hierro y la energía necesarios para tomar las riendas de tu propia vida, los dioses compensarán tu debilidad con una o dos sonrisas a tu costa. Si no consigues pilotar tu propio barco, no te sorprendas del puerto inapropiado al que llegarás.

• Money is not the issue. Having the courage to give your highest gift is the issue.
  There is no security in doing something for a living when you are dying inside while doing it. That is taking care of the body at the expense of the soul. And a withering soul cannot help but produce a withering body.
  So do not think you are 'taking care of yourself' by killing your spirit to keep your body alive.
  How long will you put off what you are dying to do?

• Sí, la Comisión quiere aumentar sus poderes, sí, es un órgano no electo y no quiero que la Comisión aumente sus poderes a expensas de la Cámara, así que, por supuesto, diferimos.

Quería que la Comisión fuera el Ejecutivo y que el Consejo de Ministros fuera el Senado. ¡No! ¡No! ¡No!

• I... [proposed] three distinct grades of education, reaching all classes. 1. Elementary schools for all children generally, rich and poor. 2. Colleges for a middle degree of instruction, calculated for the common purposes of life and such as should be desirable for all who were in easy circumstances. And 3d. an ultimate grade for teaching the sciences generally and in their highest degree... The expenses of [the elementary] schools should be borne by the inhabitants of the county, every one in proportion to his general tax-rate. This would throw on wealth the education of the poor.

• The more Adams thought about the future of his country, the more convinced he became that it rested on education. Before any great things are accomplished, he wrote to a correspondent, a memorable change must be made in the system of education and knowledge must become so general as to raise the lower ranks of society nearer to the higher. The education of a nation instead of being confined to a few schools and universities for the instruction of the few, must become the national care and expense for the formation of the many.

• On the whole, however, the conclusions I have drawn from the proofs quoted may, I believe, safely be relied on. Assuredly they will not be disturbed either by the lays of a poet displaying the exaggeration of his craft, or by the compositions of the chroniclers that are attractive at truth's expense; the subjects they treat of being out of the reach of evidence, and time having robbed most of them of historical value by enthroning them in the region of legend.
