Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export....

Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders. ”
― Thomas Sowell

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
