Milton Friedman
“I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people. The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.

Milton Friedman

“Bad government, like good government, is a spiritual thing. Even the tyrant never rules by force alone; but mostly by fairy tales. And so it is with the modern tyrant,”
G.K. Chesterton, The Chesterton Reader: 21 Works in One Volume (Unexpurgated Edition)

Sun Tzu
“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity”
Sun-Tzu, A Arte da Guerra

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
