It is in the long run that the corporation lives. - John Kenneth Galbraith

It is far, far better and much safer to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.

In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.

The modern conservative is not even especially modern. He is engaged, on the contrary, in one of man’s oldest, best financed, most applauded, and, on the whole, least successful exercises in moral philosophy. That is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. It is an exercise which always involves a certain number of internal contradictions and even a few absurdities.
