Milton Friedman

“God's idea is for us to become the Word of God, in such a way that men can read the Word by looking at our lives.”
“If you had pockets, you were associated with a labor force. It meant you had things to carry yourself. Otherwise, your lady's maid or your manservant would have done it for you.”
“The baby is a different person”
“The 1990 'Goodwill Games' can be another indication that the television world is not divided between commercial and cable. If the viewer thinks highly of our efforts... they will have a higher opinion of cable television and TBS.”
“We learn best in moments of enjoyment”
“It is cheaper to pay mathematicians and computer scientists to design algorithms that will eliminate webspamming, rather than to pay lawyers to do lawsuits.”
“I censored myself for 50 years when I was a reporter. Now I wake up and ask myself, 'Who do I hate today?'”
“A fool bolts pleasure, then complains of moral indigestion.”
