Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.

Give me a break.

I never wanted to be an anchor for 25 years, and suddenly I wanted to be one.

A thousand restaurants close every month. They re-open, and that's good for America. Nobody's rescuing them. They employ people, too. If we let them go bankrupt, the factories don't go away, the creative people don't go away. They get employed more productively by others.

All our rights are gradually eroded as government gets bigger.

Central authority is bad. The bias should be for freedom. And without a central authority, there are lots of little authorities, and we learn which ones to trust.

Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.

Competition leads both drug companies and private regulators to be trustworthy. If they are not trustworthy, they die.

I had to watch government fail for 25 years doing consumer reporting before I really saw it because intuitively, the reaction is problem, bring government and government will make it better.

I won't ever got to a place that's racist, and I will tell everybody else not to and I'll speak against them. But it should be their right to be racist.

I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.

I'm an American. I'm for prosperity. I've discovered, from 40 years of reporting, that what creates prosperity is limited government.

I've built my career on unpaid interns, and the interns told me it was great - I learned more from you than I did in college.

Isn't allowing people a choice what America is all about?

No transaction happens unless it is voluntary. It only happens if both of you think you win.

Patrick Henry did not say, 'Give me absolutely safety or give me death.' America is supposed to be about freedom.

People acting in their own self-interest is the fuel for all the discovery, innovation, and prosperity that powers the world.

People like getting what they think is free stuff from government.

Take away the government's monopoly, and private groups will do it better.

The happiest stutterers, I learned, are those who are willing to stutter in front of others.

The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.

The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.

There is all of this protesting against corporate power, but in reality, corporations have to persuade you - they could have a ton of money, but actually only government can use force.

When entrepreneurs are free to compete, they grow the pie so that everyone's share gets larger.

When we were scared about 9/11, we federalized the airport security, we spent millions for body armor for dogs in Ohio. All that over-reaction comes from fear and government - bad combination.

You can either invade a country or leave them alone and trade with them. When goods cross borders, armies don't.

Entitlement How can you be entitled to someone elses money

I always looked for a man to rescue me and bring me happiness. I bought into that myth, of course, and looked for my own Prince Charming.

Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.

No one is guaranteed happiness. You can pursue it, but if you happen to find success along the way on that road to happiness, Conservatives believe you should not be demonized or penalized for it.

To describe happiness is to diminish it.

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.

So many people have said that to me, that what they really like about Alex is what she brings out in Marissa, and what this situation brings out in her, a hint of happiness and another side to her character.

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness.

Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it.

Happiness seems made to be shared.

Aye, I'm tellin' ye, happiness is one of the few things in this world that doubles every time you share it with someone else.

Even when there are times that we're not happy, happiness will creep in.

Character is power; it makes friends, draws patronage and support and opens the way to wealth, honor and happiness.

The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.

Happiness, contentment, the health and growth of the soul, depend, as men have proved over and over again, upon some simple issue, some single turning of the soul.

Happiness is the real sense of fulfillment that comes from hard work.

The truth is that relative income is not directly related to happiness. Nonpartisan social-survey data clearly show that the big driver of happiness is earned success: a person's belief that he has created value in his life or the life of others.

Off with you! You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that!

Happiness is a monstrosity! Punished are those who seek it.

Happiness is ideal, it is the work of the imagination.

Happiness must be cultivated. It is like character. It is not a thing to be safely let alone for a moment, or it will run to weeds.
