You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing.
Thomas Sowell
Image
Sometimes just being still is the best thing you can do for yourself.
Silas House
Image
Collectivism doesn't work because it's based on a faulty economic premise. There is no such thing as a person's fair share of wealth. The gross national product is not a pizza that must be carefully divided because if I get too many slices, you have to eat the box. The economy is expandable and, in any practical sense, limitless.
P. J. O'Rourke
Image
Republicans are already on seriously thin ice, having presided over an era of unprecedented spending and consistently failing to articulate conservative principles on a wide variety of issues. But what Obama has in store will make President Bush appear, in retrospect, like a libertarian.
David Limbaugh
Image
Being a conservative also used to involve the concept of people being free to do whatever they want to do, as long as it doesn't hurt somebody else. Conservatives used to be very libertarian.

Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress but I repeat myself.

In almost all matters, the real question should be: why are we letting government handle this?
Harry Browne

The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced. If the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt, people must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.
Taylor Caldwell

That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.
Kim Stanley Robinson

Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the power to control men's minds.
Thurgood Marshall
Image
You know, if government were a product, selling it would be illegal. Government is a health hazard. Governments have killed many more people than cigarettes or unbuckled seat belts ever have.
P. J. O'Rourke
Image
I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas.
Ron Paul
Image
Theories of natural law and the law of nations are another excellent example of discussions destitute of all exactness. [...] Natural law is simply that law of which the person using the phrase approves[....]
Vilfredo Pareto
Image
Government never furthered any enterprise but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. - Second Amendment to the Constitution An armed society is a polite society.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
We must have government, but we must watch them like a hawk.
Millicent Fenwick
Image
I have no quarrel with libertarians who advance the concept of capitalism . I believe that people will decide for themselves what they want to do. The all-important thing is that they be free to make that decision and that they do not stand in the way of communities that wish to make other decisions.
Murray Bookchin
Image
The right to defy an unconstitutional statute is basic in our scheme. Even when an ordinance requires a permit to make a speech, to deliver a sermon, to picket, to parade, or to assemble, it need not be honored when it's invalid on its face.
Potter Stewart
Image
Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense.
Ron Paul
Image
We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.

H. L. Mencken

Democracy and liberty are not the same. Democracy is little more than mob rule, while liberty refers to the sovereignty of the individual.
Walter E. Williams
Image
There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.
Robert A. Heinlein
