Being sixteen forever sounded good until you really thought

Summary

This quote highlights the initial allure of eternal youth and sixteen being considered a pinnacle of life's joy and freedom. However, upon deeper reflection, the speaker realizes the limitations and stagnation that would come with never progressing beyond that age. It suggests that staying a teenager indefinitely may not offer the same sense of fulfillment and growth as experiencing the natural and inevitable changes of life.

In the usual (though certainly not in every) public decision

In the usual (though certainly not in every) public decision on economic policy, the choice is between courses that are almost equally good or equally bad. It is the narrowest decisions that are most ardently debated. If the world is lucky enough to enjoy peace, it may even one day make the discovery, to the horror of doctrinaire free-enterprisers and doctrinaire planners alike, that what is called capitalism and what is called socialism are both capable of working quite well.
