Quotes from Guide to Investing in Gold & Silver book

Whenever a politician promises you more

Whenever a politician promises you more free stuff than the guy he's running against, whenever the masses think they're getting something for nothing, whenever our government engages in deficit spending, whenever we borrow the prosperity of tomorrow to spend today, it comes back to haunt us in the form of an inflation tax, which insidiously, and invisibly confiscates our wealth. The greatest advantage an investor can have is to understand that fact and exploit it.
