January 1 Quotes

• I've lived in Washington now for 44 years, and that's a lot of folly to witness up close. Whatever confidence and optimism I felt towards the central government when I got here on January 1, 1970 has pretty much dissipated at the hands of the government.

• I had created sufficient age when I started out January 1, 1953, and I said, that's enough. From that time on I thought of myself as being ageless and in radiant health, and I am. I haven't gotten younger, but I see no point in getting younger. I can get along just fine as I am, and if you have learned the lessons of the seasons of life before, you really have no wish to return to a prior season of life.

• El gobierno le dice al ciudadano medio cada 1 de enero: 'Durante los próximos cinco meses trabajarás para nosotros, por objetivos que nosotros determinaremos'. ¿Está claro?

Si casi la mitad de lo que ganas se lo gasta otra persona, eso significa que la mitad de tu tiempo de trabajo lo pasas trabajando para otra persona. Llámenme radical, pero creo que eso se acerca peligrosamente a una forma de servidumbre.

We, like all the animals and plants that have ever lived, are recent crashers at the party of life on earth.
