"Defender of the liberty that I idolize, myself more free than anyone, in coming as a friend to offer my services to this intriguing republic, I bring to it only my frankness and my good will; no ambition, no self-interest; in working for my glory, I work for their happiness." Lafayette
Milton Friedman quote about business corporations and free enterpriseCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Business corporations in general are not defenders of free enterprise. On the contrary, they are one of the chief sources of danger....Every businessman is in favor of freedom for everybody else, but when it comes to himself that's a different question. We have to have that tariff to protect us against competition from abroad. We have to have that special provision in the tax code. We have to have that subsidy." Milton Friedman
Murray Rothbard quote about freedom, moral choice, and the relationship between liberty and moralityCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"There can be no truly moral choice unless that choice is made in freedom; similarly, there can be no really firmly grounded and consistent defense of freedom unless that defense is rooted in moral principle. In concentrating on the ends of choice, the conservative, by neglecting the conditions of choice, loses that very morality of conduct with which he is so concerned. And the libertarian, by concentrating only on the means, or conditions, of choice and ignoring the ends, throws away an essential moral defense of his own position." Murray Rothbard
Noam Chomsky quote about Latin America and the future of former coloniesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The former colonies, in Latin America in particular, have a better chance than ever before to overcome centuries of subjugation, violence and foreign intervention, which they have so far survived as dependencies with islands of luxury in a sea of misery." Noam Chomsky
Murray Rothbard quote about self-determination and property rightsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"If a man has the right to self-ownership, to the control of his life, then in the real world he must also have the right to sustain his life by grappling with and transforming resources; he must be able to own the ground and the resources on which he stands and which he must use. In short, to sustain his human right." Murray Rothbard
Murray Rothbard quote about the non-aggression principle and defensive forceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"No one may threaten or commit violence ('aggress') against another man's person or property. Violence may be employed only against the man who commits such violence; that is, only defensively against the aggressive violence of another. In short, no violence may be employed against a non-aggressor. Here is the fundamental rule from which can be deduced the entire corpus of libertarian theory." Murray Rothbard
