Famous quotes by Milton Friedman:

"There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program"

"So the question is, do corporate executives, provided they stay within the law, have responsibilities in their business activities other than to make as much money for their stockholders as possible? And my answer to that is, no they do not"

"The greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government"

"Only government can take perfectly good paper, cover it with perfectly good ink and make the combination worthless."

"Governments never learn. Only people learn."

"The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy."

"I'm in favor of legalizing drugs. According to my values system, if people want to kill themselves, they have every right to do so. Most of the harm that comes from drugs is because they are illegal."

"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand"

"We have a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes nonwork."

"The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit."

"Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program."

"The greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government."

"Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself."

"So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system."

"Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned."

"History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition."

"The most important ways in which I think the Internet will affect the big issue is that it will make it more difficult for government to collect taxes."

"Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it."

"The black market was a way of getting around government controls. It was a way of enabling the free market to work. It was a way of opening up, enabling people."
