If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldnt swim. – Margaret Thatcher Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
If for no other reason, personal pride should prompt every governor and state legislator to take a secessionist attitude they were not elected to be lackeys of the federal bureaucracy. – Frank Chodorov Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The uniform, constant, and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition... is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration. – Adam Smith Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
By liberty I mean the assurance that every man shall be protected in doing what he believes is his duty against the influence of authority and majorities, custom and opinion. – Lord Acton Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
By pursuing his own interest (every individual) frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good. – Adam Smith Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
I do esteem individual liberty above everything. What is a nation for, but to secure the maximum liberty to every individual? – D. H. Lawrence Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The War between the States... produced the foundation for the kind of government we have today: consolidated and absolute, based on the unrestrained will of the majority, with force, threats, and intimidation being the order of the day. Today's federal government is considerably at odds with that envisioned by the framers of the Constitution. ... [The War] also laid to rest the great principle enunciated in the Declaration of Independence that 'Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.’ – Walter E. Williams Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
If our fathers, in 1776, had acknowledged the principle that a majority had the right to rule the minority, we should never have become a nation; for they were in a small minority, as compared with those who claimed the right to rule over them. – Lysander Spooner Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ...You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth. – Mother Teresa Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
For whatever deserves to exist deserves also to be known, for knowledge is the image of existence, and things mean and splendid exist alike. – Sir Francis Bacon Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
Limiting the freedom of news 'just a little bit' is in the same category within the classic example 'a little bit pregnant.‘ – Robert A. Heinlein Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
From the days of Spartacus, Weishophf, Karl Marx, Trotski, Belacoon, Rosa Luxenburg, and Ema Goldman, this world conspiracy has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the French revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th Century. And now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire. – Sir Winston Churchill Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The finest trick of the devil is to persuade you that he does not exist. – Charles Baudelaire Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
Americans find it intolerable that one constitutional right should have to be surrendered in order to assert another. America is the land of the free and home of the brave -- we don't need a Patriot Act, because we are already patriots. We know freedom means responsibility, but I am not sure Congress and its domestic enforcement agencies do. More often than not, new security measures enacted by the government have resulted in more violations of the citizenry than terrorists have ever done. The terrorists want us to be afraid - well, we are not afraid. Stop wasting dollars on this program - it is not good for America. To give up essential liberty for a little security provides neither. The right to be left alone from government intrusion is the beginning of all freedoms. – Eric Schaub Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
All might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they should. – Samuel Adams Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The true patriot scrutinizes the actions of his own government with unceasing vigilance. And when his government violates the morality and rightness associated with principles of individual freedom and private property, he immediately rises in opposition to his government. – Jacob G. Hornberger Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The secret is not to chase the butterflies.... It's to tend the garden so that they come to you and if they don’t come at least you have a garden. – Mario Quintana Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The Union was formed by the voluntary agreement of the states; and these, in uniting together, have not forfeited their nationality, nor have they been reduced to the condition of one and the same people. If one of the states chooses to withdraw from the compact, it would be difficult to disapprove its right of doing so, and the Federal Government would have no means of maintaining its claims directly either by force or right. – Alexis de Tocqueville Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The Bill of Rights is a born rebel. It reeks with sedition. In every clause it shakes its fist in the face of constituted authority... It is the one guarantee of human freedom to the American people. – Frank I. Cobb Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The history of the welfare state is the history of public enterprise pushing out private organization. The impact was largely unintentional, but natural and inevitable. Higher taxes left individuals with less money to give; government’s assumption of responsibility for providing welfare shriveled the perceived duty of individuals to respond to their neighbors’ needs; and the availability of public programs gave recipients an alternative to private assistance, one which did not challenge recipients to reform their destructive behavior. – Doug Bandow Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
At first it was the incomes of corporations, then of rich citizens, then of well-provided widows and opulent workers, and finally the wealth of housemaids and the tips of waitresses. This is all in line with the ability to pay doctrine. The poor, simply because there are more of them, have more ability to pay than the rich. – Frank Chodorov Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck. – Frederick Douglass Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
However accurate or inaccurate the agency’s numbers may be, tax law explicitly presumes that the IRS is always right -- and implicitly presumes that the taxpayer is always wrong -- in any dispute with the government. In many cases, the IRS introduces no evidence whatsoever of its charges; it merely asserts that a taxpayer had a certain amount of unreported income and therefore owes a proportionate amount in taxes, plus interest and penalties. – James Bovard Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The income tax is the biggest single intrusion suffered by the American people. It forces every worker to be a bookkeeper, to open his records to the government, to explain his expenses, to fear conviction for a harmless accounting error. Compliance wastes billions of dollars. It penalizes savings and creates an enormous drag on the U.S. economy. It is incompatible with a free society, and we aren’t libertarians if we tolerate it. – Harry Browne Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
