Quote DB :: Authors :: Thomas Sowell :: View Quote View Quote "Those who are preoccupied with 'making a statement' usually don't have any statements worth making." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Thomas Sowell Listed in: Talking Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 4.25  Rate Quote 4 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Thomas Sowell "Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all -- inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all." "There are no solutions...there are only trade-offs." "Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good." "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." "I have always been offended by the song that says, 'Everything is beautiful in its own way.' If everything is beautiful, then the word 'beautiful' has no meaning. If everything were purple, there would be no word 'purple' in the language because it would not distinguish one thing from another." Top 5 quotes from Talking "It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about, nowadays, saying things against one behind one's back that are absolutely and entirely true." "None are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them." "No man ever listened himself out of a job." "What this country needs is more free speech worth listening to." "People have to talk about something just to keep their good voice boxes in working order, so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say."
