Taxes are necessary. But the system of discriminatory taxation universally accepted under the misleading name of progressive taxation of income and inheritance is not a mode of taxation. It is rather a mode of disguised expropriation of the successful capitalists and entrepreneurs.
Ludwig von Mises
Image
I think the attempt to draw a comparison between Iran and Syria is false, misleading and dangerous.
Ehud Olmert
Image
You never know what's going to happen when somebody endeavors to do a true crime story. It can be horribly misleading. It could be tabloidy.
Marcia Clark
Image
I still think I love him more. It's one of those things you never know for certain because there's no way to enter all the relationship data in a computer and have it spit out a definitive answer. You can't quantify love, and if you try, you wind up focusing on misleading factors.
Emily Giffin
Image

Marshall McLuhan
Image
I'm not claiming to be sober. I think that that would be misleading. I drink alcohol. My father has a vineyard, and the wine is really delicious, by the way.
Fergie

Matthew Lesko
Image
Emotions can certainly be misleading: they can fool you into believing stuff that is definitely, demonstrably untrue.
Francis Spufford
Image
Liberalism is essentially the belief that there can be a reconciliation of all difficulties and differences, and since there can't, it is a misleading way to approach politics.
Maurice Cowling
Image
It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.
George Harrison
Image
The president's claim that Social Security is going broke is misleading at best. The sky is not falling, although there is no doubt that the system needs to be strengthened.
Grace Napolitano
Image
Khomeini obviously had many problems, but he had one clever side to him. He never made economic promises to people and as a result, he never led to dissatisfaction in this perspective. Because they need to get votes, they use misleading slogans. And this leads to rising expectations. I had a personal experience.
Akbar Ganji
Image
How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.
Herbert Spencer
Image
In the creative process, my ego has always been a huge tyrant ... a dictator and kind of rude and very misleading, because sometimes when I'm doing something, I say, This is great! This is fantastic! Very genius! And 20 minutes later, I feel like a dead jellyfish. You are a stupid a**hole. This is a piece of sh*t. Nobody will care about it.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Image

John Dewey
Image
I don't like the word 'superstar'. It has ridiculous implications. These words - star, stupor, superstar, stupid star - they're misleading. It's a myth.
Barbra Streisand
Image
This long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again.
John Maynard Keynes
Image
Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
Brian Eno
Image
...intimacy being reduced to its content of mere sensation, will only be the misleading, obscure, and desperate alleviation of the existential disgust and anguish of him who has stumbled into a blind alley.
Julius Evola
Image
Facts can be so misleading, where rumors, true or false, are often revealing.
