John Kenneth Galbraith Here are those quotes that he has so many times ... 1- "Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists." 2- "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everybody gets busy on the proof." 3- "It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled sea of thought." 4- "If you feed enough oats to the horse, some will pass through to feed the sparrows." - in relation to trickle-down economics 5- "Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite." 6- "The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable." 7- "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." 8- "If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error." 9-"It is a well known and very important fact that America's founding fathers did not like taxation without representation. It is a lesser known and equally important fact that they did not much like taxation with representation." 10- (Having been asked how he managed to write so much) "I wake up early, have a good breakfast, and begin." 11- "Humility is not always compatible with truth." 12- "People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage." 13- "Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable."
