Text Quotes
It is bad enough that so many people believe things without any evidence. What is worse is that some people have no conception of evidence and regard facts as just someone else’s opinion  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) It doesnt matter what you do if you don’t do what matters. If you do what matters it doesnt matter what you do  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Economic policies need to be analyzed in terms of the incentives they create, rather than the hopes that inspired them  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) How long do politicians have to keep on promising heaven and delivering hell before people catch on and stop getting swept away by rhetoric?  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) It is amazing how many people seem to think that the government exists to turn their prejudices into law  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) No society ever thrived because it had a large and growing class of parasites living off those who produce  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The key fallacy of so called gun control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law abiding citizens, while people bent on violence find firearms readily available  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Nobody is equal to anybody. Even the same man is not equal to himself on different days  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Our economic problems worry me much less than our political solutions, which have a far worse track record  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The inefficiency of political control of an economy has been demonstrated more often, in more places, and under more varied conditions, than almost anything outside the realm of pure science  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The murder of a dozen innocent people is unquestionably a human tragedy. But that is no excuse for reacting blindly by preventing hundreds of thousands of other people from defending themselves against meeting the same fate  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) All too often, we do smart things only after exhausting every conceivable dumb thing we could have done  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) If you can’t beat them or join them, then do something weird. No matter how much the passengers eat, the weight of the plane stays the same. Do you sometimes feel that you are necessary but not sufficient?  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Too often the past has been twisted to fit the visions and agendas of the present  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) France has never gotten over the fact that it was once a great power and is now just a great nuisance  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Government’s power to bully people who have broken no law is dangerous to all of us  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Most variables can show either an upward or downward trend, depending on the base year chosen  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The charge is often made against the intelligentsia and other members of the anointed that their theories and the policies based on them lack common sense. But the very commonness of common sense makes it unlikely to have any appeal to the anointed. How can they be wiser and nobler than everyone else while agreeing with everyone else?  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) People who believe in evolution in biology often believe in creationism in government. In other words, they believe that the universe and all the creatures in it could have evolved spontaneously, but that the economy is too complicated to operate without being directed by politicians  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Our whole educational system, from the elementary schools to the universities, is increasingly turning out people who have never heard enough conflicting arguments to develop the skills and discipline required to produce a coherent analysis, based on logic and evidence. The implications of having so many people so incapable of confronting opposing arguments with anything besides ad hominem responses reach far  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The real problem, both in discussions of mass shootings and in discussions of gun control, is that too many people are too committed to a vision to allow mere facts to interfere with their beliefs, and the sense of superiority that those beliefs give them  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) One of the reasons for conspiracy theories is an assumption that people in high places always know what they are doing. When they do something that makes no sense, devious reasons are imagined by conspiracy theorists, when in fact it may be due to plain old ignorance and incompetence  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) No individual and no generation has had enough personal experience to ignore the vast experience of the human race that is called history. Yet most of our schools and colleges today pay little attention to history. And many of our current policies repeat mistakes that were made, time and again, in the past with disastrous results  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Racism has never done this country any good, and it needs to be fought against, not put under new management for different groups  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) I’m always embarrassed when people say that I’m courageous. Soldiers are courageous. Policemen are courageous. Firemen are courageous. I just have a thick hide and disregard what silly people say  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Intellectuals may like to think of themselves as people who speak truth to power but too often they are people who speak lies to gain power  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Some of the most vocal critics of the way things are being done are people who have done nothing themselves, and whose only contributions to society are their complaints and moral exhibitionism  (Thomas Sowell Quotes)
