• Any consideration of the life and larger social existence of the modern corporate man begins and also largely ends with the effect of one all-embracing force.

  John Kenneth Galbraith

• Perhaps myself the first, at some expense of popularity, to unfold the true character of Jefferson, it is too late for me to become his apologist. Nor can I have any disposition to do it. I admit that his politics are tinctured with fanaticism, that he is too much in earnest in his democracy, that he has been a mischievous enemy to the principle measures of our past administration, that he is crafty & persevering in his objects, that he is not scrupulous about the means of success, nor very mindful of truth, and that he is a contemptible hypocrite.

  Alexander Hamilton

• The seeds of today's runaway government were planted when it was decided that government should help those who can't help themselves.

Once the door was open, once it was settled that the government should help some people at the expense of others, there was no stopping it.

  Harry Browne

• In Joel's view, that reformation begins with people going o the trouble and expense of buying directly from farmers they know - "relationship marketing," as he calls it. He believes the only meaningful guarantee of integrity is when buyers and sellers can look one another in the eye, something few of us ever take the trouble to do. "Don't you find it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who grows their food?"

  Dorothy Draper
