Quotes by P. J. O'Rourke: The complete collection of over 450 quotes

By: Regan, Lilith

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them.Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.Cleanliness becomes more important when godliness is unlikely.Every government is a parliament of whores. The trouble is, in a democracy, the whores are us.Earnestness is stupidity sent to college.The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop.
