• El consejo, como siempre da una apariencia temporal de superioridad, nunca puede ser muy agradecido, ni siquiera cuando es muy necesario o muy juicioso. Pero por la misma razón todo el mundo está deseoso de instruir a sus vecinos. Ser sabio o ser virtuoso es comprar dignidad e importancia a un alto precio; pero cuando nada es necesario para elevarse sino la detección de las locuras o faltas de otros, ningún hombre es tan insensible a la voz de la fama como para quedarse en el suelo.

  Samuel Johnson

• Let me first tell you one thing: It doesn't matter what the world says about Israel; it doesn't matter what they say about us anywhere else.

• The effect of metals speculation was to push up the prices that China had to pay to countries like Australia. This squeezed China. Once the speculative demand ended, all of a sudden the added production facilities that had been brought into production by the high prices went out of production again, and there was a glut.

• High prices can be the result of speculation, and maybe plunging prices can be attributed to the end of speculation, but low prices over time aren't caused by speculation. That's oversupply, mainly by Saudi Arabia flooding the market with low-priced oil to discourage rival oil producers, whether it's Russian oil or American fracking.

• Though the two issues may seem utterly unrelated, they do have this in common - both health care and higher education are realms of American life in which government has undermined the operation of market forces and caused artificially high prices. These are two arenas in which the Democrats now propose to do exactly the wrong thing. Their reform reinforces old errors and will infinitely compound the problem of rising prices.
