Text Quotes
If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The big divide in this country is not between Democrats and Republicans, or women and men, but between talkers and doers  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) As for gun control advocates, I have no hope whatever that any facts whatever will make the slightest dent in their thinking - or lack of thinking  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) In liberal logic, if life is unfair then the answer is to turn more tax money over to politicians, to spend in ways that will increase their chances of getting reelected  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Mystical references to society and it's programs to help may warm the hearts of the gullible but what it really means is putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) People who identify themselves as conservatives donate money to charity more often than people who identify themselves as liberals. They donate more money and a higher percentage of their incomes  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The Massachusetts Institute of Technology accepts blacks in the top ten percent of students, but at MIT this puts them in the bottom ten percent of the class  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as a process but by its hoped for results. This is not only intellectually invalid, it is, in practical terms, blinding oneself in advance to some of the unwanted consequences of the process  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Lunches don’t get free just because you don’t see the prices on the menu. And economists don’t get popular by reminding people of that  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The first rule of economics is that there is an infinite number of desires chasing a finite number of goods, services and resources. The first rule of politics is to ignore the first rule of economics  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Unbounded morality ultimately becomes counterproductive even in terms of the same moral principles being sought. The law of diminishing returns applies to morality  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The growing complexity of science, technology, and organization does not imply either a growing knowledge or a growing need for knowledge in the general population. On the contrary, the increasingly complex processes tend to lead to increasingly simple and easily understood products. The genius of mass production is precisely in its making more products more accessible, both economically and intellectually to more people  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Price fixing does not represent simply windfall gains and losses to particular groups according to whether the price happens to be set higher or lower than it would be otherwise. It represents a net lose to the economy as a whole to the extent that many transactions do not take place at all, because the mutually acceptable possibilities have been reduced  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The more adaptability exists for a given kind of decision, the less risky it is to make plans for the future, and therefore the more likely it is that more people will make more plans in such areas  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The stricter standards and independent, often conclusive, evidence in the physical sciences cannot be generalized to intellectual activity as a whole, even though the aura of scientific processes and results is often appropriated by other intellectuals  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying  (Thomas Sowell Quotes)
