The state is and has been in history a source of disorder and chaos, and this problem gets worse the more the state grows.

The larger the government, the more our livings standards are reduced. We are fortunate as a civilization that the progress of free enterprise generally outpaces the regress of government growth, for, if that were not the case, we would be poorer each year - not just in relative terms, but absolutely poorer too. The market is smart and the government is dumb, and to these attributes do we owe the whole of our economic well-being.

Money out of nothing is money that is eventually worth nothing.

Never underestimate the power of bad ideas. They must be refuted again and again.

Above all, ascribe no decent motives to the federal government. Always and everywhere, it is the enemy of truth.

There is nothing the state can do, and which society needs done, that cannot be done far better by the market.

Americans are coming to their senses, and the libertarian theory of society and government is pointing the way. The times change, but the enduring principles that help us to interpret and understand the world do not. It remains true now, as then, as in the future, saecula saeculorum, that government provides neither an effective nor a moral means for solving any human problem.
