Text Quotes
Mistakes can be corrected by those who pay attention to facts but dogmatism will not be corrected by those who are wedded to a vision  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) One of the most pervasive political visions of our time is the vision of liberals as compassionate and conservatives as less caring  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favor of holding meetings  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The simplest and most psychologically satisfying explanation of any observed phenomenon is that it happened that way because someone wanted it to happen that way  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The welfare state is not really about the welfare of the masses. It is about the egos of the elites  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Would you bet your paycheck on a weather forecast for tomorrow? If not, then why should this country bet billions on global warming predictions that have even less foundation?  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Why the transfer of decisions from those with personal experience and a stake in the outcome to those with neither can be expected to lead to better decisions is a question seldom asked, much less answered  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Helping those who have been struck by unforeseeable misfortunes is fundamentally different from making dependency a way of life  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) All of us should be on guard against beliefs that flatter ourselves. At the very least, we should check such beliefs against facts  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Groups that rose from poverty to prosperity seldom did so by having their own racial or ethnic leaders to follow  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) A shortage is a sign that somebody is keeping the price artificially lower than it would be if supply and demand were allowed to operate freely  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) It is a way to take people’s wealth from them without having to openly raise taxes. Inflation is the most universal tax of all  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Just what is it that academics have to fear if they stand up for common decency, instead of letting campus barbarians run amok?  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today’s problems are a result of yesterday’s solutions  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The time is long overdue to stop looking for progress through racial or ethnic leaders. Such leaders have too many incentives to promote polarizing attitudes and actions that are counterproductive for minorities and disastrous for the country  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) There is no question that liberals do an impressive job of expressing concern for blacks. But do the intentions expressed in their words match the actual consequences of their deeds?  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) If you want to get each individual’s honest opinion, you don’t want that opinion to be influenced by others who are present, much less allow a group to coordinate what they are going to say  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Many people, including some conservatives, have been very impressed with how brainy the president and his advisers are. But that is not quite as reassuring as it might seem  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The fact that the market is not doing what we wish it would do is no reason to automatically assume that the government would do better  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) What then is the intellectual advantage of civilization over primitive savagery? It is not necessarily that each civilized man has more knowledge but that he requires far less  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Racism does not have a good track record. It’s been tried out for a long time and you’d think by now we’d want to put an end to it instead of putting it under new management  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) If politicians stopped meddling with things they don’t understand, there would be a more drastic reduction in the size of government than anyone in either party advocates  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) What is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the blood and treasure of the human race?  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Brainy folks were also present in Lyndon Johnson’s administration, especially in the Pentagon, where Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara’s brilliant ‘whiz kids’ tried to micro-manage the Vietnam war, with disastrous results  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) For the anointed, traditions are likely to be seen as the dead hand of the past, relics of a less enlightened age, and not as the distilled experience of millions who faced similar human vicissitudes before  (Thomas Sowell Quotes)
