The characteristic feature of a free society is that it can function in spite of the fact that its members disagree in many judgments of value. Freedom really means the freedom to make mistakes.

The philosophy commonly called individualism is a philosophy of social cooperation and the progressive intensification of the social nexus.

Tyranny is the political corollary of socialism, as representative government is the political corollary of the market economy.

Private property creates for the individual a sphere in which he is free of the state. It sets limits to the operation of the authoritarian will. It allows other forces to arise side by side with and in opposition to political power. It thus becomes the basis of all those activities that are free from violent interference on the part of the state. It is the soil in which the seeds of freedom are nurtured and in which the autonomy of the individual and ultimately all intellectual and material progress are rooted.

As soon as the economic freedom which the market economy grants to its members is removed, all political liberties and bills of rights become humbug.

Continued adherence to a policy of compulsory education is utterly incompatible with efforts to establish lasting peace.

Despots and democratic majorities are drunk with power.
