Harry Browne
Image
Our government, taxes, and ideas of freedom are already duplicates of the Old World. Our politicians determine how we should live our lives - and our individual liberties are sacrificed for the benefit of the Fatherland.
Harry Browne
Image
Forcing people to be generous isn't humanitarian, effective, compassionate or moral. Only acts that are truly voluntary for all concerned can be truly compassionate.

When you know that you're capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer.
Harry Browne

Each person is living for himself his own happiness is all he can ever personally feel.

Image
The Bill of Rights isn't some legalistic fine print. It was written to make our lives freer, more prosperous, and happier. By forsaking it, America has become no better than any other country in the world.

There was no military reason to drop atomic bombs on Japan. They were used as terrorist weapons - killing innocent people to influence other people.
Harry Browne
Image
Security ... it's simply the recognition that changes will take place and the knowledge that you're willing to deal with whatever happens.
