Thomas Sowell quotations
2) The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.
3) What 'multiculturalism' boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture - and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture.
4) If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win.
5) Elections should be held on April 16th- the day after we pay our income taxes. That is one of the few things that might discourage politicians from being big spenders.
6) People who identify themselves as conservatives donate money to charity more often than people who identify themselves as liberals. They donate more money and a higher percentage of their incomes.
7) It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.
8) It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
10) The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.
