I did not come here to solve anything.
I came to sing,
And for you to sing with me.

Yo no vengo a resolver nada.
Yo vine aquí para cantar
Y para que cantes conmigo.

Pablo Neruda

Another quote from the 1940s

Laissez faire does not mean: Let soulless mechanical forces operate. It means: Let each individual choose how he wants to cooperate in the social division of labor; let the consumers determine what the entrepreneurs should produce. Planning means: Let the government alone choose and enforce its rulings by the apparatus of coercion and compulsion.
