    Տնտեսագիտության առաջին դասը սակավությունն է. երբեք չի լինում ինչ-որ բան, որպեսզի լիովին բավարարի բոլոր ցանկացողներին: քաղաքականության առաջին դասը տնտեսագիտության առաջին դասը անտեսելն է:

    pierwszą lekcją ekonomii jest niedobór: nigdy nie ma niczego, aby w pełni zaspokoić wszystkich, którzy tego chcą. pierwszą lekcją polityki jest zignorowanie pierwszej lekcji ekonomii.
