[Quote No.65122] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Small government versus big government - assigning credit for good and bad outcomes:] People hired by government know who is their benefactor. People who lose their jobs or fail to get them because of the government program do not know that that is the source of their problem. The good effects are visible. The bad effects are invisible. The good effects generate votes. The bad effects generate discontent, which is as likely to be directed at private business as at the government." - Milton Friedman

[Quote No.65159] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Politicians, bureaucrats, activists and voters should remember:] Those who call themselves 'liberals' today [socialist and communist, interventionist, big government statists] are asking for policies which are precisely the opposite of those policies which the [classical] liberals of the nineteenth century advocated in their liberal programs. The so-called liberals of today have the very popular idea that freedom of speech, of thought, of the press, freedom of religion, freedom from imprisonment without trial -- that all these freedoms can be preserved in the absence of what is called economic freedom [free market capitalism without perverting 'crony capitalist' influence]. They do not realize that, in a system where there is no market, where the government directs everything, all those other freedoms are illusory, even if they are made into laws and written up in constitutions." - Ludwig von Mises
(1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher

[Quote No.65160] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Equal freedom from force and fraud:] An outstanding feature of the open market is the businessman, whose success or failure depends entirely on his ability to 'focus on consumer needs' and so combine existing and potential factors of production to serve consumers most efficiently. The only constructive role government can play under the free market method of overcoming poverty is to see that the participation of individuals is strictly voluntary--that none is permitted to steal from or cheat or enslave another. In the free and open society, the organized force of government is to be used only if necessary to protect the lives and property of peaceful individuals. In other words, the proper function of government is to protect against robbery rather than practice it." - Paul L. Poirot
'The Freeman', April 1965.

[Quote No.65215] Need Area: Friends > General
"...Enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man, acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter -- with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?
Still one thing more... a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another [through force or fraud], shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.
This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary
to close the circle of our felicities." - Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President. Source: First Inaugural Address, 1801.

"It is largely because civilization enables us constantly to profit from knowledge which we individually do not possess and because each individual's use of his particular knowledge may serve to assist others unknown to him in achieving their ends that men as members of civilized society can pursue their individual ends so much more successfully than they could alone [and therefore why they agree to the social contract of giving up their solitary total freedom]." - F.

[Quote No.65311] Need Area: Friends > General
"...government theft of private money and redistribution by a government elite is communism not democracy. ... Communism has already been tried for over 70 years, and it doesn't work because people work to support themselves, not their neighbors. When the rewards are confiscated and redistributed to others, people produce less or stop producing altogether. The quantity of 'goods in common' declines until the system finally collapses and everybody is hungry, not just 'the poor.' Then totalitarianism steps in to force people to produce (ask the Russians, the Poles, the Estonians)." - Don Hull

[Quote No.65409] Need Area: Friends > General
"Don't forget that pure democracy is a form of collectivism -- it readily sacrifices individual rights to majority wishes. Since it involves no constitutional bill of rights, or at least, no working and effective one, the majority-of-the-moment can and does vote away the rights of the minority-of-the-moment, even of a single individual. This has been called 'mob rule,' the 'tyranny of the majority' and many other pejorative names. It is one of the greatest threats to liberty, the reason why America's founding fathers wrote so much so disparagingly of pure democracy." - Bert Rand

"[Self-Defence and Martial Arts:] The peaceable part of mankind will be continually overrun by the vile and abandoned while they neglect the means of self-defense. The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms, like laws discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside... Horrid mischief would ensue were (the good) deprived of the use of them ... the weak will become a prey to the strong." - Thomas Paine
(1737-1809) US Founding father, pamphleteer, author.

All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are no other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation.
