[Quote No.60052] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Small, constitutionally limited government - to only the protection from force or fraud to allow the equal birth-right to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and property' - is required to restrict the potential abuse of society, minorities and individuals by government and politicians:] Set aside justice, then, and what are kingdoms but great bands of brigands? For what are brigands' bands but little kingdoms? For in brigandage the hands of the underlings are directed by the commander, the confederacy of them is sworn together, and the pillage is shared by law among them. And if those ragamuffins grow up to be able enough to keep forts, build habitations, possess cities, and conquer adjoining nations, then their government is no longer called brigandage, but graced with the eminent name of a kingdom, given and gotten not because they have left their practices but because they use them without danger of law. Elegant and excellent was that pirate's answer to the great Macedonian Alexander, who had taken him; the king asking him how he durst molest the seas so, he replied with a free spirit: 'How darest thou molest the whole earth? But because I do it only with a little ship, I am called brigand: thou doing it with a great navy art called emperor.' " - St. Augustine

Quote from his book, 'City of God', Book IV, published 426 AD.

[Quote No.60135] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Small, limited government:] I would have government defend the life and property of all citizens equally; protect all willing exchange; suppress and penalize all fraud, all misrepresentation, all violence, all predatory practices; invoke a common justice under law; and keep the records incidental to these functions. Even this is a bigger assignment than governments, generally, have proven capable of. Let governments do these things and do them well. Leave all else to men in free and creative effort." - Leonard E. Read
Leonard Edward Read was the founder of the Foundation for Economic Education - FEE, which was one of the first modern libertarian institutions of its kind in the United States. Notes from FEE, October 1, 1954.

"[Beware of the desire of all politicians, bureaucracies and governments to take any opportunity - especially a crisis - to grab more power which is always at the expense of reducing individual power, freedom and choice:] Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the [US] Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." - Daniel Webster

[Quote No.60317] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Politics and politicians, whether democracy, mob-rule, crony capitalism or tyranny:] The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office.
Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them.
Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing.
The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B.
In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and
every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods." - H. L. Mencken

"The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word 'Nazi' is a German abbreviation for 'National Socialist' (Nationalsozialist) and the full name of Hitler's political party (translated) was 'The National Socialist German Workers' Party' (In German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei). [Socialism, like Communism and Fascism and other statist, paternal ideologies, are all against individual rights - putting politically-favoured groups of people and the government above individual power, freedom, needs and rights.]" - Dr. John Joseph Ray
Former member of the Australia-Soviet Friendship Society, former anarcho-capitalist and former member of the British Conservative party.

"[Free market capitalism:] The statement that one man's boon is the other man's damage is valid with regard to robbery, war, and booty. The robber's plunder is the damage of the despoiled victim. But war [i.e. force and fraud; a win-lose relationship] and commerce [i.e. free choice and informed consent as voluntary exchange; a win-win relationship] are two different things." - Ludwig von Mises

[Quote No.60388] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Individual freedom versus government power:] Given that the nineteenth century was the century of Socialism, of Liberalism, and of Democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of Fascism. For if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the State." - Benito Mussolini
(1883-1945), Italian dictator during WWII.

"[Limited, small government: Self-Defense and Martial Arts:] Government is necessary, but the only rights we can delegate to government are the ones we possess. For example, we all have a natural right to defend ourselves against predators. Since we possess that right, we can delegate authority to government to defend us. By contrast, we don't have a natural right to take the property of one person to give to another; therefore, we cannot legitimately delegate such authority to government!" - Walter E. Williams

[Quote No.60484] Need Area: Friends > General
"[The equal, unalienable birth-rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and property:] By the democratic principles we espouse, government cannot have a right that citizens do not grant it. There are certain things that a person has no right to do. A person has no right to murder or rape another. Therefore, people cannot grant government authority to murder and rape. Similarly, no person has the right to forcibly take the property of one person in order to give it to another. Therefore, people cannot grant government authority to do the same thing. If I forcibly took property from one person, for any reason, most people would condemn it as theft, an immoral act. Theft or any other immoral act does not become moral because it is done by government acting on behalf of a consensus or majority vote just as murder or rape does not become a moral act simply because of a consensus or majority vote." - Walter E.

"Equality before the general rules of law is the only kind of equality conducive to liberty that can be secured without destroying liberty. It is an equality that neither requires nor assumes people are in fact equal. Our attempt to make people equal in fact by rigging law to produce equal results destroys civility and generalized respect for the law. Government cannot create an advantage for one person without simultaneously creating a disadvantage for another." - Walter E. Williams

"[Morality, ethics and the Golden Rule of treating others as you would like to be treated:] The version of the Golden Rule that most of the experts learned in Sunday school comes from the King James Version of the [CHRISTIAN] Bible and goes like this: 'All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them.' But one reason why the Golden Rule comes up so frequently is that every religious tradition has a version of it.
HINDUISM: 'Knowing how painful it is to himself, a person should never do to others what he dislikes when done to him by others.'
JUDAISM: 'What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor.'
And ISLAM: 'None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.' " - Karl Pillemer Ph.D.
