Lafayette quote about serving the common good, protecting freedom, and returning to private lifeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Do not calculate what I have done, for I shall accept no recompense. Calculate the public advantage, the welfare and liberty of my country, and believe that I shall refuse no burden, no danger, provided that, at the hour of tranquillity, I may return to private life, for there now remains but one step for my ambition - that of arriving at zero." Lafayette
Harry Browne quote about the Bill of Rights and individual freedomsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"...The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The First Amendment doesn't say you have a right to speak out unless the government has a 'compelling interest' in censoring the Internet. The Second Amendment doesn't say you have the right to keep and bear arms until some madman plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn't say you have the right to be secure from search and seizure unless some FBI agent thinks you fit the profile of a terrorist. The government has no right to interfere with any of these freedoms under any circumstances." Harry Browne
Emma Goldman quote about law, change, and new ideasCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time." Emma Goldman
Psychological manipulation and fear quote by Joost A.M. MeerlooCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"In order to tame people into the desired pattern, victims must be brought to a point where they have lost their alert consciousness and mental awareness. Freedom of discussion and free intellectual exchange hinder conditioning. Feelings of terror, feelings of fear and hopelessness, of being alone, of standing with one's back to the wall, must be instilled" Joost A.M. Meerloo
Murray Rothbard quote about the relationship between capitalism and anarchismCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Capitalism is the fullest expression of anarchism, and anarchism is the fullest expression of capitalism. Not only are they compatible, but you can't really have one without the other. True anarchism will be capitalism, and true capitalism will be anarchism" Murray Rothbard
Murray Rothbard quote about liberty, political action, and rolling back the stateCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I see no other conceivable strategy for the achievement of liberty than political action. Religious or philosophical conversion of each man and woman is simply not going to work; that strategy ignores the problem of power, the fact that millions of people have a vested interest in statism and are not likely to give it up.... Education in liberty is of course vital, but it is not enough; action must also be taken to roll back the State." Murray Rothbard
Harry Browne quote about freedom, government, taxes, and individual libertiesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"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
Quote on financial manipulation and political control by G. Edward GriffinCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"By remaining behind the scenes, they (the Rothschilds) were able to avoid the brunt of public anger which was directed, instead, at the political figures which they largely controlled. This is a technique which has been practiced by financial manipulators ever since, and it is fully utilized by those who operate the Federal Reserve System today." G. Edward Griffin
Quote by Antony Cyril Sutton about herd instinct and gold as asset of last resortCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Those entrapped by the herd instinct are drowned in the deluges of history. But there are always the few who observe, reason, and take precautions, and thus escape the flood. For these few gold has been the asset of last resort." Antony Cyril Sutton
Quote about experimenting in television by Steven SpielbergCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Because of how much movies cost, it's dangerous to be experimental on one film after the other. But we can experiment with television. We can do things that are fringe and bring ideas to the table that are offbeat and original." Steven Spielberg
Murray Rothbard quote about money distribution and the effects on people with fixed incomesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"In short, the early receivers of the new money in this market chain of events gain at the expense of those who receive the money toward the end of the chain, and still worse losers are the people (e.g., those on fixed incomes such as annuities, interest, or pensions) who never receive the new money." Murray Rothbard
Murray Rothbard quote about gold as the monetary standardCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Gold was not selected arbitrarily by governments to be the monetary standard. Gold had developed for many centuries on the free market as the best money; as the commodity providing the most stable and desirable monetary medium." Murray Rothbard
Murray Rothbard quote about scarcity, economic resources, and the free marketCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"One of the most important features of our economic resources is their scarcity: land, labor, and capital goods factors are all scarce, and may all be put to various possible uses. The free market uses them 'productively' because the producers are guided, on the market, to produce what the consumers most need: automobiles, for example, rather than buggies." Murray Rothbard
