“What the honorable member is saying is that he would rather that the poor be poorer, provided that the rich were less rich.” Margaret Thatcher
“10,535 pages of ObamaCare condensed to 4 sentences… 1. In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to uninsure the insured. 2. Next, we require the newly uninsured to be re-insured. 3. To re-insure the newly uninsured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured. 4. The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became uninsured, and then became re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the original uninsured can be insured, which will be free of charge to them. This, ladies and gentlemen, is called “redistribution of wealth” … or, by its more common name, SOCIALISM.”

“It isn’t a problem if you can give it to someone else.” Dilbert
“Resentment of the prosperous — whether at home or on the world stage — runs through virtually everything Barack Obama has said and done throughout his life. You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to find the clues. You have to shut your eyes tightly to keep from seeing them everywhere, in every period of his life.” Thomas Sowell
“You should always go to other people’s funerals; otherwise, they won’t come to yours.” Yogi Berra
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed, and hence clamorous to be led to safety, by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” H.L. Mencken
“It’s refreshing that “the most transparent administration in history” should finally display candor about its signature act of social change. Inadvertently, of course. But now we know what lay behind Obama’s smooth reassurances: the arrogance of an academic liberalism that rules in the name of a citizenry it mocks, disdains and deliberately, contemptuously deceives.” Charles Krauthammer
“Do what has to be done, when it has to be done, as well as it can be done, and do it that way every time.” Tom Carpenter
“We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” Cynthia Ozick
“Most things in the world can be bought or sold, but not a reputation.” Walt Bettinger
“The trend of modern times appears to indicate that citizens of democracies are willing heedlessly to surrender their freedoms to purchase social and economic equality, apparently oblivious of the consequences. And the consequences are that their ability to hold on to and use what they earn and own, to hire and fire at will, to enter freely into contracts, and even to speak their mind is steadily being eroded by governments bent on redistributing private assets and subordinating individual rights to group rights.” Richard Pipe
“If you chase two rabbits, both will escape.” Solomon
“The American people are today a deeply divided people — on ideology, politics, faith, morality, race, culture. Americans today — and not for the first time — do not really like each other.” Pat Buchanan
“Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.” Don Marquis
“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.” Hillary Clinton “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Barack Obama

“There is no such thing as a final offer.” Harvey Mackay
“Legislative losses, there’s always the other party to blame. Policy and implementation problems, voters are going to blame the president – because they think part of his job is running the government. And Americans expect competence.” Doyle McManus

“Liberals use the fact of flat or falling incomes to call for more of the same policies that have resulted in flat or falling incomes. By making equality a higher priority than economic growth, Obama has reduced growth and increased inequality.” The Wall Street Journal
“Failure is not falling down but staying down.” Harvey Mackay
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Seneca
“Lawyers and War? Have the lawyers at Defense, Justice and the White House talk to the lawyers at ISIS. Perhaps they can arrive at some resolution in this matter.” Su-Min Oon
“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.” Billy Graham
“It’s always darkest before it’s pitch black.” Peter Lynch
“Among the many other questions raised by the nebulous concept of “greed” (income distribution) is why it is a term applied almost exclusively to those who want to earn more money or to keep what they have already earned – never to those wanting to take other people’s money in taxes or to those wishing to live on the largess dispensed from such taxation.” Thomas Sowell
“Whichever strategy is chosen, we should be reticent in telling our adversaries in advance any timetable that governs us or which of our capabilities we will not employ.” James Mattis, USMC Ret
“The inability to forecast hasn’t prevented the desire to keep forecasting.” Morgan Housel
Last week President Obama gave a big speech from the White House, where he outlined his plan to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the terror group ISIS. When asked how, he said “I’ll build their website.” Jimmy Fallon
