If our freedom is so fragile that it must be continuously protected by giving it up, then we are in deep trouble. —Karl Hess
If some men are entitled by right to the products of the work of others, it means that those others are deprived of rights and condemned to slave labor. No man can have a right to impose an unchosen obligation, an unrewarded duty, or an involuntary servitude on another man. There can be no such thing as “the right to enslave” —Ayn Rand
The rights of one man cannot and must not violate the rights of another. For instance: a man has the right to live, but he has no right to take the life of another. He has the right to be free, but no right to enslave another.
The very right upon which he acts defines the same right of another man, and serves as a guide to tell him what he may or may not do. —Ayn Rand
Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government. —James Madison
I viewed the marketplace as a cruel place, where you need intervention by government to protect people. But after watching the regulators work, I have come to believe that markets are magical, and the best protectors of the consumer. It is my job to explain the beauties of the free market. —John Stossel
The worst thing that can happen to a socialist is to have his country ruled by socialists who are not his friends. —Ludwig von Mises
All people, however fanatical they may be in their zeal to disparage and to fight capitalism, implicitly pay homage to it by passionately clamoring for the products it turns out. —Ludwig von Mises
The United States’ Foreign Policy is the Midas Touch but in reverse. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, the list goes on… —John Mearsheimer, University of Chicago
Advocating censoring someone instead of debating the merits of your argument is to admit your goal is not to expand knowledge but to suppress it. —Rob Schneider
As far as I’m concerned the Republicans and the Democrats on Foreign Policy are like Twiddledum and Twiddledee. There’s just no difference between them. —John Mearsheimer, University of Chicago
