Control Costs

Famous quotes containing the words control and/or costs:

    Imagine believing in the control of inflation by curbing the money supply! That is like deciding to stop your dog fouling the sidewalk by plugging up its rear end. It is highly unlikely to succeed, but if it does it kills the hound.
    —Michael D. Stephens. “On Sinai, There’s No Economics,” New York Times (Nov. 13, 1981)

    The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.
