L. Neil Smith, American Writer (1946-  )
Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.
Adam Smith, Scottish Economist (1723-1790)

Dalton Trumbo, American Novelist (1905-1976)
You shouldn't get to live in society and give nothing back. People complain about their taxes, yet they do nothing for the community. That makes me furious.

This great America will become a paralyzed nation.
Jon Voight, American Actor (1938-  )
