You see a lot of people out there that say they're country, and they do their little things that are stereotypical country things, but being country is a way of life.

I think 'Country Girl' is one song that can veer into country or hip-hop or rap. You can listen to it and enjoy the humor and the fun in it.

My thing is to get up there and have a good time and give the fans all you can and appreciate them spending their money and being in the stands - and just be appreciative of them cheering when you come onstage.

It suffices here to say that the planned economy which the advocates of dictatorship wish to set up is precisely as socialistic as the Socialism propagated by the self-styled Social Democrats.

The worst thing that can happen to a socialist is to have his country ruled by socialists who are not his friends.

No people and no part of a people shall be held against its will in a political association that it does not want.

Human thoughts about things of which neither pure reasoning nor experience provides any knowledge may differ so radically that no agreement can be reached.

The doctrine of the importance of hoards for stabilizing the objective exchange-value of money has gradually lost its adherents with the passing of time. Nowadays its supporters are few.

Logic and reasoning, which might show the absurdity of such dreams of bliss and revenge, are to be thrust aside.

Inflationism is that monetary policy that seeks to increase the quantity of money.

Naive inflationism demands an increase in the quantity of money without suspecting that this will diminish the purchasing power of the money.

The function of money is to facilitate the business of the market by acting as a common medium of exchange.

The agents of etatism have certainly not been lacking in zeal and energy. But, for all this, economic affairs cannot be kept going by magistrates and policemen.

It is not the poverty of individuals and the community, not indebtedness to foreign nations, not the unfavourableness of the conditions of production, that force up the rate of exchange, but inflation.

Economics is a living thing—and to live implies both imperfection and change.

Religious wars are the most terrible wars because they are waged without any prospect of conciliation.

What is called “orthodox” economics is in most countries barred from the universities and is virtually unknown to the leading statesmen, politicians, and writers.

The individual is today no longer primarily a citizen, but a party member.

The central element in the economic problem of money is the objective exchange-value of money, popularly called its purchasing power.
