Forcing people to be generous isn't humanitarian, effective, compassionate or moral. Only acts that are truly voluntary for all concerned can be truly compassionate.

Communities don't think, don't believe, don't want, don't have needs, don't have interests and don't make decisions. Only individuals have minds that generate desires and needs - and only individuals can make choices and decisions.

When people do things for you, it's because they want to - because you, in some way, give them something meaningful that makes them want to please you, not because anyone owes you anything.

Some people object to libertarian ideas because there are too many irresponsible people in the world - people who will cause trouble if the government doesn't restrain them.

What we really need is compassion of the mind - compassion for others that is directed intelligently and produces truly compassionate results.

While most people in TV, radio, and the press have treated me wonderfully, some of the most important people want to pretend I don't exist.

Government doesn't work. That's the first lesson we must learn if we want to improve society.
