What we need is a new consciousness concerning the idea of human liberty.

All the stuff that makes life worth living is produced privately, and all that the government does is slow down the progress of civilization and bring destruction and disaster wherever it goes.

Everything done by the state is ultimately done by means of aggression, which is to say violence or the threat of violence against the innocent.

Private enterprise creates; government destroys. That is the great economic lesson of our times and all times.

Among the most urgent political priorities of our age is the separation of economy and state.

No state empowered to do what is supposedly necessary will restrain itself to those things. It will expand as much as public opinion will tolerate.

It is not caving in to the bees to stop poking a stick into their hive.
