We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life - physical, intellectual, and moral life.
Frederic BastiatLet us first of all frugality in government-peace and freedom we will have as a bonus.
Frederic Bastiat[Socialists claim] that we reject fraternity, solidarity, organization, and association; and they brand us with the name of individualists. We can assure them that what we repudiate is not natural organization, but forced organization. It is not free association, but the forms of association that they would impose upon us. It is not spontaneous fraternity, but legal fraternity. It is not providential solidarity, but artificial solidarity, which is only an unjust displacement of responsibility. Socialism . . . confounds Government and society.
