If history could teach us anything, it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization.
Ludwig von MisesAll people, entrepreneurs as well as non-entrepreneurs, look askance upon any profits earned by other people. Envy is a common weakness of men. People are loath to acknowledge the fact that they themselves could have earned profits if they had displayed the same foresight and judgment the successful businessman did.
Ludwig von MisesWhat mankind needs today is liberation from the rule of nonsensical slogans and a return to sound reasoning.
