"Capitalism demands the best of every man – his rationality – and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him."
"A government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims."
"Do not ever say that the desire to “do good” by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives."
"Government “help” to business is just as disastrous as government persecution… the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off."
"I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."
"The man who lets a leader prescribe his course is a wreck being towed to the scrap heap."
"The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me."
"There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil."
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."
