The broad liberal objective is a balanced and flexible mixed economy, thus seeking to occupy that middle ground between capitalism and socialism whose viability has so long been denied by both capitalists and socialists.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Image
Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.
Frederic Bastiat
Image
I have always found it quaint and rather touching that there is a movement [Libertarians] in the US that thinks Americans are not yet selfish enough.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
It must be obvious that liberty necessarily means freedom to choose foolishly as well as wisely freedom to choose evil as well as good freedom to enjoy the rewards of good judgment, and freedom to suffer the penalties of bad judgment. If this is not true, the word freedom has no meaning.
Ben Moreell
Image
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A right without an attendant responsibility is as unreal as a sheet of paper which has only one side.

The important question is, therefore, not whether anarchy is possible or not, but whether we can so enlarge the scope and influence of libertarian methods that they become the normal way in which human beings organise their society.
Colin Ward
Image
A favorite Wired icon for the information feedback loop, a dragon curling in a circle to swallow its own tail, could become more apt as a symbol of the timeless libertarian paradox: Monopoly verging on feudalism emerges from unregulated competition to bite libertarianism in the posterior.
Jedediah Purdy

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
Patrick Henry
Image
If I were a Brazilian without land or money or the means to feed my children, I would be burning the rain forest too.
Sting

Mystical references to society and its programs to help may warm the hearts of the gullible but what it really means is putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats.
Thomas Sowell
Image
Show me a movement that doesn't hate somebody and I will join it at once.
Robert Anton Wilson
Image
People never believe in volcanoes until the lava actually overtakes them.
George Santayana
Image
He is free who lives as he wishes to live who is neither subject to compulsion nor to hindrance, nor to force whose movements to action are not impeded, whose desires attain their purpose, and who does not fall into that which he would avoid.
Epictetus
Image
In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.
Mahatma Gandhi

Seven habits that help produce the anything-but-efficient markets that rule the world. 1. Think short term. 2. Be greedy. 3. Believe in the greater fool 4. Run with the herd. 5. Overgeneralize 6. Be trendy 7. Play with other people's money
Paul Krugman
Image
The consumers suffer when the laws of the country prevent the most efficient entrepreneurs from expanding the sphere of their activities. What made some enterprises develop into big business was precisely their success in filling best the demand of the masses.
Ludwig von Mises
Image
The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.
John Stuart Mill
Image
Given the low level of competence among politicians, every American should become a libertarian. The government that governs least is certainly the best choice when fools, opportunists and grafters run it. When power is for sale, then the government power should be severely limited. When power is abused, then the less power the better.

Image
Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Republicans don't want anyone having more fun than they do, and the Democrats don't want anyone making more money than they do. Libertarians want you to make money and have fun.
Andre Marrou
Image
Abuse of power isn't limited to bad guys in other nations. It happens in our own country if we're not vigilant.
