Thomas Sowell: Frases en inglés

“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.”

1980s–1990s, Barbarians inside the Gates and Other Controversial Essays (1999)

“I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.”

Contexto: In the summer of 1959, as in the summer of 1957, I worked as a clerk-typist in the headquarters of the U. S. Public Health Service in Washington. The people I worked for were very nice and I grew to like them. One day, a man had a heart attack at around 5 PM, on the sidewalk outside the Public Health Service. He was taken inside to the nurse's room, where he was asked if he was a government employee. If he were, he would have been eligible to be taken to a medical facility there. Unfortunately, he was not, so a phone call was made to a local hospital to send an ambulance. By the time this ambulance made its way through miles of Washington rush-hour traffic, the man was dead. He died waiting for a doctor, in a building full of doctors. Nothing so dramatized for me the nature of a bureaucracy and its emphasis on procedures, rather than results.
