Arthur C Brooks Quotes

If you think spreading money around by force seems like an odd definition of fairness, you’re not alone Picture Quote #1

Yes, free markets tend to produce unequal incomes. We should not be ashamed of that. On the contrary, our system is the envy of the world and should be a source of pride Picture Quote #1

There’s a general intuition around the nonprofit world these days that younger generations are less likely to join. But I have found in my research that that’s quite wrong Picture Quote #1

The battle is on, and nothing less than the soul of America is at stake Picture Quote #1

The more control you have over your life, the more responsible you feel for your own success - or failure Picture Quote #1

The truth is that relative income is not directly related to happiness. Nonpartisan social-survey data clearly show that the big driver of happiness is earned success: a person’s belief that he has created value in his life or the life of others Picture Quote #1

There is nothing inherently fair about equalizing incomes. If the government penalizes you for working harder than somebody else, that is unfair. If you save your money but retire with the same pension as a free-spending neighbor, that is also unfair Picture Quote #1

FDR created today’s 30 percent coalition. Obama wants to finish the job by turning it into a permanent ruling majority. There’s nothing new about the Obama Narrative. It is the FDR Narrative on steroids. It is intended to lead to greater statism and political gain Picture Quote #1

In my book I don’t just demonstrate that free enterprise is the most efficient way of organizing an economy - which it is. I also show that it’s an expression of American values, and, thus, that a fight for free enterprise is very much a fight for our culture Picture Quote #1

The system that enables the most people to earn the most success is free enterprise, by matching up people’s skills, interests, and abilities. In contrast, redistribution simply spreads money around. Even worse, it attenuates the ability to earn success by perverting economic incentives Picture Quote #1

We will have bigger bureaucracies, bigger labor unions, and bigger state-run corporations. It will be harder to be an entrepreneur because of punitive taxes and regulations. The rewards of success will be expropriated for the sake of attaining greater income equality Picture Quote #1

Conservatives are better talking about opportunity and growth in the abstract, while liberals talk more about poor people. We [americans] need a good, optimistic, conservative opportunity ideology that is totally geared toward lifting up the poor. That’s what I most want to see in candidates Picture Quote #1

The key to happiness is not being rich; it’s doing something arduous and creating something of value and then being able to reflect on the fruits of your labor Picture Quote #1
