We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice.

The mind cannot foresee its own advance.

We must shed the illusion that we can deliberately 'create the future of mankind'

If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion.

Through the inevitable mismanagement of resources and goods at the disposal of the state, all forms of collectivism lead eventually to tyranny.

The chief difference [between totalitarian and free countries] is that only the totalitarians appear clearly to know how they want to achieve that result, while the free world has only its past achievements to show, being by its very nature unable to offer any detailed "plan" for further growth.

We have indeed at the moment little cause for pride: as a profession we have made a mess of things.
