"I know you think you understand what you thought I said . . ."

“ I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant”

~ Alan Greenspan


“government regulation cannot substitute for individual integrity.”

~ Alan Greenspan, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World


“Capitalism is based on self-interest and self-esteem; it holds integrity and trustworthiness as cardinal virtues and makes them pay off in the marketplace, thus demanding that men survive by means of virtue, not vices. It is this superlatively moral system that the welfare statists propose to improve upon by means of preventative law, snooping bureaucrats, and the chronic goad of fear.”

~ Alan Greenspan
