Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years.

Man became free when he recognized that he was subject to law.
Liberty is a luxury of security; the free individual is a product and a mark of civilization.
When liberty exceeds intelligence, it begets chaos, which begets dictatorship.
If our economy of freedom fails to distribute wealth as ably as it has created it, the road to dictatorship will be open to any man who can persuasively promise security to all.
