Profit is a reward for satisfying the desire of someone else.

Government is a parasite-a cancer that by nature tries to spread deeper into society. Those who want to run others' lives won't give up and start minding their own business.

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
While most people in TV, radio, and the press have treated me wonderfully, some of the most important people want to pretend I don't exist.

Image
Can you think of a single area of government in which George Bush hasn't already made things worse than Bill Clinton did?
Harry Browne
Image
It's wrong for someone to confiscate your money, give it to someone else, and call that compassion.
Harry Browne
Image
The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.
Harry Browne
Image
A welfare state is frightened of every poor person who tries to get in and every rich person who tries to get out.
Harry Browne
Image
If a law could keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people, there would be virtually no gun crime at all.

Image
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

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.
