Sharing Some of Thomas Sowells' Witty Thoughts

Thomas Sowell is a former economics professor and currently a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute, at Stanford University.  I will attempt to share a couple or three daily.  I consider him to be one if not the smartest man in America.

Advice to the young:  You don't have to listen to anybody.  You can learn everything from your own personal experience.  Of course, you will be at least 50 years old by the time you know what you need to know at 25.

Environmentalism is not about the environment.  It is about ego trips for the busybodies.

If it were up to me, the age of adulthood would never have been lowered from 21 to 18.  It would have been raised to 30.  In recent decades, people have been taking longer and longer to mature -- and increasing numbers never make it.

Enjoy,
Andrew Smithson
