Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. – Winston Churchill
Not as eloquent, but more to the point:
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money. – Margaret Thatcher
I’ll see you a quote, and raise you one:

Great quotes. Sadly, the United Kingdom didn’t heed their advice.
Love Churchill quotes, although I’m also fond of anything by Milton Friedman. Here a a video of him wiping the floor with Phil Donahue when explaining to him why greed is good for society. It’s at the bottom of this post. https://freedomthroughempowerment.wordpress.com/2014/12/01/drop-the-entitlement-mentality-get-greedy/
Yes, I love Friedman, too. I’ve seen this clip before. It is awesome. Thanks for writing.
