It used to be the boast of free men that, so long as they kept within the bounds of the known law, there was no need to ask anybody's permission or to obey anybody's orders. It is doubtful whether any of us can make this claim today. – Friedrich August von Hayek Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily or mental and spiritual – John Stuart Mill Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
A free society cherishes nonconformity. It knows from the non-conformist, from the eccentric, have come many of the great ideas. – Henry Steele Commager Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
There is surely no contradiction in saying that a certain section of the community may be quite competent to protect the persons and property of the rest, yet quite unfit to direct our opinions, or to superintend our private habits. – Thomas Babington Macaulay Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
What is common to many is least taken care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than what they possess in common with others. – Aristotle Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The most fatal blow to progress is slavery of the intellect. The most sacred right of humanity is the right to think, and next to the right to think is the right to express that thought without fear. – Helen H. Gardner Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
It is the tragic story of the cultural crusader in a mass society that he cannot win, but that we would be lost without him. – Paul F. Lazarsfeld Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
No one is free who is not master of himself. – Pythagoras Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
It must be admitted that the tendency of the human race toward liberty is largely thwarted, especially in France. This is greatly due to a fatal desire -- learned from the teachings of antiquity -- that our writers on public affairs have in common: They desire to set themselves above mankind in order to arrange, organize, and regulate it according to their fancy. – Frederick Bastiat Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. There is no country in the world where so many provisions are established for them; so many hospitals to receive them when they are sick or lame, founded and maintained by voluntary charities; so many alms-houses for the aged of both sexes, together with a solemn general law made by the rich to subject their estates to a heavy tax for the support of the poor. Under all these obligations, are our poor modest, humble, and thankful; and do they use their best endeavours to maintain themselves, and lighten our shoulders of this burthen? — On the contrary, I affirm that there is no country in the world in which the poor are more idle, dissolute, drunken, and insolent. The day you passed that act, you took away from before their eyes the greatest of all inducements to industry, frugality, and sobriety, by giving them a dependance on somewhat else than a careful accumulation during youth and health, for support in age or sickness. In short, you offered a premium for the encouragement of idleness, and you should not now wonder that it has had its effect in the increase of poverty. – Benjamin Franklin Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The only path to the final defeat of imperialism and the building of socialism is revolutionary war. – Bill Ayers Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
Socialism in America will come through the ballot box. – Gus Hall Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
One of the ironies, as some have observed, is that the secular project has itself become a religion, pursued with religious fervor. It is taking on all the trappings of a religion – including inquisitions and excommunication. Those who defy the creed risk a figurative burning at the stake – social, educational, and professional ostracism and exclusion waged through lawsuits and savage social media campaigns. – William Barr Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The whole point of the liberal revolution that gave rise to the 1960’s was to free us from somebody else’s dogma, but now the same people…are striving to impose on others a secularized religion…disguising it behind innocuous labels like ‘diversity training’ and ‘respect for difference. – Richard Bernstein Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
When you elevate victimhood as virtue, you will create a culture in which people are tripping over themselves to be oppressed. – Allie Beth Stuckey Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
[Some people] have a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom. I believe that it is easier to establish an absolute and despotic government amongst a people in which the conditions of society are equal, than amongst any other; and I think that, if such a government were once established amongst such a people, it would not only oppress men, but would eventually strip each of them of several of the highest qualities of humanity. Despotism, therefore, appears to me peculiarly to be dreaded in democratic times. – Alexis de Tocqueville Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
What is a left-wing socialist but a Marxist without a gun? – Don Feder Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
We are Socialists, we are enemies of the capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions. – Adolf Hitler Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
Spending by government currently amounts to about 45 percent of national income. By that test, government owns 45 percent of the means of production that produce the national income. The U.S. is now 45 percent socialist. – Milton Friedman Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The salient feature of America in the Age of Obama is a failed government class institutionally committed to living beyond its means, and a citizenry too many of whom are content to string along. – Mark Steyn Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The task of weaning various people and groups from the national nipple will not be easy. The sound of whines, bawls, screams and invective will fill the air as the agony of withdrawal pangs finds voice. – Linda Bowles Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The inherent vice of capitalism is the uneven division of blessings, while the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal division of misery. – Sir Winston Churchill Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us. – Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain. – Thomas Sowell Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
