The police can't stop an intruder, mugger, or stalker from hurting you. They can pursue him only after he has hurt or killed you. Protecting yourself from harm is your responsibility, and you are far less likely to be hurt in a neighborhood of gun-owners than in one of disarmed citizens - even if you don't own a gun yourself.

Like many people, most Libertarians feel empathy and sympathy for less fortunate people. But they know you can't have perfection in a world of limited resources.

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.

The marketplace is a wondrous institution. It harnesses the self-interest of each of us and puts it to work for the benefit of all. And it does so without intruding upon our desires, our privacy, or our freedom. It is regulation by reality, not by coercion.

If younger people see older people who haven't planned ahead and have to rely on charity, the young will be more likely to provide for the future. Today when someone plans poorly, the only consequence people see is a demand for more government.

Give government the weapons to fight your enemy and it will use them against you.

Security ... it's simply the recognition that changes will take place and the knowledge that you're willing to deal with whatever happens.

The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.

If a law could keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people, there would be virtually no gun crime at all.

Politicians are notoriously economically illiterate. And even when they know what would be the right thing, we don't really expect them to do it.
Harry Browne
Image
Most politicians believe in just one thing - winning elections. They'll say anything to get in office and stay there.

World War II has always been of great interest to me. I've known for decades that it was just one more war the politicians suckered us into.

Freedom and responsibility aren't interconnected things. They are the same thing.

When people do things for you, it's because they want to - because you, in some way, give them something meaningful that makes them want to please you, not because anyone owes you anything.
