Milton Friedman

American - Economist July 31, 1912 - November 16, 2006

With the author

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

Milton Friedman

The world runs on individuals pursuing their self interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under order from a, from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way.

Milton Friedman

The only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of prediction with experience.

Milton Friedman

Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas and values to students not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes.

Milton Friedman

When government - in pursuit of good intentions - tries to rearrange the economy, legislate morality, or help special interests, the cost come in inefficiency, lack of motivation, and loss of freedom. Government should be a referee, not an active player.

Milton Friedman

Indeed, a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it... gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

Milton Friedman

Well first of all, tell me, is there some society you know of that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? You think China doesn't run on greed? What is greed?

Milton Friedman

Most of the energy of political work is devoted to correcting the effects of mismanagement of government.

We were founded on the idea that all people are created equal, and while that notion of who counts as a person - who deserves equality - has evolved over time, the point remains: America was founded as bastion of freedom, and equality. That is the America I know.

Karine Jean-Pierre

Americans deserve to have their religious beliefs and practices protected. Religious freedom is too important to be trampled by insensitive bureaucracy or bad policy.

Charles T. Canady

All Americans and freedom-loving people around the world owe President Reagan our deepest gratitude for his strong, principled leadership that ended the Cold War and brought freedom to millions of people.

Jim Ramstad

The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.

Ramana Maharshi

We don't believe that winning elections and winning any amount of votes will win freedom in Ireland. At the end of the day, it will be the cutting edge of the IRA which will bring freedom.

Martin McGuinness

Culture constitutes an essential element of social and political liberation. As people rise up across the Middle East and North Africa, the diversity of their cultures is not only the means but also the ultimate goal of their liberation and their freedom.

Tariq Ramadan

None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but licence.

John Milton

Whether or not money can buy happiness, it can buy freedom, and that's a big deal. Also, lack of money is very stressful.
