Rose Wilder Lane Quotes

• Una cosa que odio del New Deal es que está matando lo que, para mí, es el espíritu pionero americano. Sencillamente, no sé qué decirles a mis propios hijos cuando salen de la escuela y se enfrentan a este nuevo mundo cuyo ideal es la seguridad y cuya práctica es la dependencia del gobierno en lugar de depender de uno mismo. Desde un punto de vista práctico, todos los viejos valores del carácter parecen simplemente una locura; el hombre autosuficiente, independiente y valiente es penalizado en todos los sentidos.

• Cualquiera que diga que la seguridad económica es un derecho humano, ha sido demasiado mimado. Mientras él parlotea, otros hombres arriesgan y pierden la vida para protegerle. Luchan contra el mar, luchan contra la tierra, luchan contra la enfermedad y los insectos y el clima y el espacio y el tiempo, por él, mientras él parlotea que todos los hombres tienen derecho a la seguridad y que algún dios pagano -la Sociedad, el Estado, el Gobierno, la Comunidad- debe dársela. Que los combatientes dejen de luchar contra esta tierra inhumana durante una hora, y aprenderá cuánta seguridad hay.

How much excitement in the cutting of a window, what enormous importance in the angle of a roof!
