But life does not ask us what we want. It presents us with options.

A collection of Thomas Sowell quotes.
We can only make our choices among alternatives actually available, and rectifying the past is not one of those options.

Changing ourselves is a much more reasonable undertaking than trying to change other people.

Politics is the art of making your selfish desires seem like the national interest.

You cannot subsidize irresponsibility and expect people to become more responsible.

But life does not ask us what we want. It presents us with options.

The only way I know to become a good writer is to be a bad writer and keep on improving.

There is something obscene about people holding protest rallies in order to try to keep getting money that someone else worked for.

I can understand that some people like to drive slowly. What I cannot understand is why they get in the fast lane to do it.

It is amazing how many people seem to think that the government exists to turn their prejudices into laws.

Age gives you an excuse for not being very good at things that you were not very good at when you were young.
