[Quote No.67302] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Morality and ethics: freedom from force and fraud that allows greater individual freedom and choice - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness:] The principle that the end [more truth, freedom and pleasure] justifies the means [less truth, freedom and pleasure] is in individualist ethics regarded as the denial of all morals. In collectivist ethics it becomes necessarily the supreme rule." - Friedrich August von Hayek
(1899-1992), Nobel Laureate of Economic Sciences 1974. Source: The Road to Serfdom (1944).

"[Individual freedom-empowerment and personal responsibility versus government freedom-empowerment and responsibility; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; freedom from force and fraud:] The great question which, in all ages, has disturbed mankind and brought on them the greatest part of those mischiefs which have ruined cities, depopulated countries, and disordered the peace of the world, has been, not whether there be power in the world, not whence it came, but who should have it." - John Locke

[Quote No.67343] Need Area: Friends > General
"Political tags -- such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth -- are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled [by whom, for what ends, how, who pays, etc.,] and those who have no such desire [so people control themselves, within, for example, a social contract where all agree to there being equal freedom from force and fraud and an equitable method to adjudicate and limit any transgressions]." - Robert A. Heinlein
(1907-1988) American writer. Source: The Notebooks of Lazarus Long.

"[Small, limited government versus big, power-hungry, interventionist, statist, paternal government:] It's a cruel joke, those formative years, when your brain learns the rules of the universe. Your childhood is spent being [dependent - not on yourself but on others - that is] nurtured, protected, loved unconditionally while your adulthood is spent [not independent or even interdependent but] searching in vain for substitutes [for that paternal, maternal dependency in the forms of...]. Mate, government, God ... " - Max Brooks

[Quote No.67432] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Individual freedom versus authority over the group: small, limited, power-restricted government versus large, unlimited, power-hungry, totalitarian, statist, interventionist government:] There had been many things I had not really understood. I had regarded the Communist Party as a poor man's party, and thought the presence of certain men of wealth within it accidental. I now saw this was no accident. I regarded the Party as a monolithic organization with the leadership in the National Committee and the National Board. Now I saw this was only a facade placed there by the movement to create the illusion of the poor man's party; it was in reality a device to control the 'common man' they so raucously championed." - Dr. Bella Dodd
(1904-1969) head of the New York State Teachers Union, member of the Communist Party of America (CPUSA) in the 1930s and 1940s, later a vocal anti-communist.

"[Freedom requires eternal vigilance:] Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude and perseverance. Let us remember that 'if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration ... that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." - Samuel Adams

"[Should freedom or security be paramount?] You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order -- or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism.
Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path." - Ronald Reagan

"[Individual freedom and personal responsibility; society, politics, government:] Who is responsible for your success? No, it's not the government, or your spouse, or your co-worker, it's you! But we already knew that, right? So then why are so many people addicted to playing the victim role? Because it's the easy way out. Blaming the outside world for the situations in your life may gain you temporary sympathy and instant relief, but it inhibits the long-term results you desire. Not many things in this world make you more powerful and mature than taking responsibility for where you stand. This is how you go from a self-pitying [helpless] state to a solution-seeking [empowered] state. From being a lifeless object at the mercy of circumstances to an empowered human being with the capacity to improve anything.

[Quote No.67726] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Individuals and the social contract:] It has been thought a considerable advance towards establishing the principles of Freedom, to say, that government is a compact between those who govern and those that are governed: but this cannot be true, because it is putting the effect before the cause; for as man must have existed before governments existed, there necessarily was a time when governments did not exist, and consequently there could originally exist no governors to form such a compact with. The fact therefore must be, that the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist." - Thomas Paine
