• Te daré una fórmula sencilla para enderezar los problemas de Estados Unidos. Primero, grava a las iglesias. Quitas el impuesto a las ganancias de capital y el impuesto a los ahorros. Despenalizas todo y lo gravas igual que el alcohol. Despenaliza. Que el juego sea legal. Así, el presupuesto volverá a la senda de la recuperación y habrá muchos ingresos fiscales para todos los programas sociales y para el ejército.

• Leftist big-government policies have been disastrous for black America just as they were in the countries that most Hispanics emigrated from. But like the gambling addict who keeps gambling the more he loses, those addicted to government entitlements keep increasing the size of the government even as their situation worsens.

• ...hacer hincapié en el más allá es negar la vida. Concentrarse en el Cielo es crear un infierno. En su desesperado anhelo por trascender el desorden, la fricción y la imprevisibilidad que atormentan la vida; en su deseo de un nuevo comienzo en un hábitat ordenado, libre de gérmenes y asegurado por ángeles, las multitudes religiosas se juegan la única vida que pueden llegar a tener en un caballo negro de una carrera que no tiene línea de meta.

• Of course, San Diego chooses not to regard the two cities as one. Talk about alter ego: Tijuana was created by the lust of San Diego. Everything that was illegal in San Diego was permitted in Tijuana. When boxing was illegal in San Diego, there were boxing matches in Tijuana; when gambling was illegal, there was always Tijuana.

• All gambling is the telling of a fortune, but of a monstrously depleted fortune, empty of everything save one numerical circumstance, shorn of all such richness as a voyage across the water, a fair man that loves you, a dark woman that means you harm.

• Our old - fashioned system is better than any new - fangled voting machine. Not only is it guaranteed to work, but there is something I find appealing in putting a mark on a piece of paper for the candidate of your choice, as opposed to pulling a lever as if you were gambling on a slot machine in Las Vegas.

• Alguien va a encontrar la manera de hacer que esto funcione y cuando lo hagan, todos los anti-juegos de azar, el exceso de regulación de los gobiernos autoritarios serán expuestos como emperadores sin ropa. Puede que al principio ni siquiera sea obvio que esto está ocurriendo, ya que estos sistemas son por definición asuntos sigilosos.

• It is far best for the Christian never to see some things, so he will never want them. The old-fashioned Christian who will not have playing cards in his house will never learn to gamble with them. One who never sees, in movies and night clubs or elsewhere, half-clothed girls, drinking, smoking, gambling, petting, making love to many men, is likely to miss being led into that kind of life by these sirens of sin. It is the Devil's game to make people think it necessary for people to "know the ways of the world.

• There is a gambling element to being somebody who is going to take on the job of constantly trying to represent and prop up people who might be somewhat shady. That notion is probably part of how they got the rap. But, I have to find the balance of being colorful, being at times despicable, and also being somebody who does believe in something.

• La delincuencia se basa en la necesidad, en ganar dinero. La gente vende drogas para ganar dinero. Pero si todo el mundo está atendido, no venden drogas y si no hay dinero no puedes vender drogas aunque quisieras. No existiría el juego, ni la prostitución, ni venderse, ni sobornar a un senador o a un gobernador. No hay senadores, no hay gobernadores, así que no puedes sobornarlos. Si quitas la base o la condición que genera el comportamiento aborrecible, no tienes comportamiento aborrecible.
