A society based on the freedom to choose is better than a society based on the principles of socialism, communism and coercion.
Quote by -Milton Friedman
Whenever we depart from voluntary cooperation and try to do good by using force, the bad moral value of force triumphs over good intentions.
Quote by -Milton Friedman
When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it. When a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on. When a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends. And when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he does't care how much he spends or what he spends it on. And that's government for you.

Quote by -Milton Friedman
A society based on the freedom to choose is better than a society based on the principles of socialism, communism and coercion.
Quote by -Milton Friedman
Whenever we depart from voluntary cooperation and try to do good by using force, the bad moral value of force triumphs over good intentions.
Quote by -Milton Friedman
Liberals shouldn't cede the responsibility to defend free speech on college campuses to conservatives. After all, without free speech, what's liberalism about?
Quote by -Bari Weiss
There is only one kind of freedom and that's individual liberty. Our lives come from our creator and our liberty comes from our creator. It has nothing to do with government granting it.
Quote by -Ron Paul
Believe me, the next step is a currency crisis because there will be a rejection of the dollar, the rejection of the dollar is a big, big event, and then your personal liberties are going to be severely threatened.
Quote by -Ron Paul
There is nothing wrong with describing Conservatism as protecting the Constitution, protecting all things that limit government. Government is the enemy of liberty. Government should be very restrained.
Quote by -Ron Paul
The obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people.
Quote by -Ron Paul
Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense.
Quote by -Ron Paul
I have my shortcomings. But the message, it has no shortcomings. The message of Liberty is what America is all about.
Quote by -Ron Paul
Congress remains in total denial as our liberties are rapidly fading before our eyes. The process is propelled by unwarranted fear and ignorance as to the true meaning of liberty. It is driven by economic myths, fallacies and irrational good intentions.
Quote by -Ron Paul
All branches of our government today are controlled by individuals who use their power to undermine liberty and enhance the welfare/warfare state-and frequently their own wealth and power,
Quote by -Ron Paul
The cost in terms of liberties lost and the unnecessary exposure to terrorism are difficult to determine, but in time it will become apparent to all of us that foreign interventionism is of no benefit to American citizens, but is instead a threat to our liberties.
Quote by -Ron Paul

Quote by -Ron Paul
If it's not accepted that big government, fiat money, ignoring liberty, central economic planning, welfarism, and warfarism caused our crisis, we can expect a continuous and dangerous march toward corporatism and even fascism with even more loss of our liberties,
Quote by -Ron Paul
Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action.
Quote by -Ron Paul
I'm convinced that you never have to give up liberties to be safe. I think you're less safe when you give up your liberties.
Quote by -Ron Paul
When the goal of political action is no longer the defense of liberty, no word other than demagoguery can describe the despicable nature of politics.
Quote by -Ron Paul
Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons
Quote by -Ron Paul

Quote by -Ron Paul
Demanding domestic security in times of war invites carelessness in preserving civil liberties and the right of privacy. Frequently the people are only too anxious for their freedoms to be sacrificed on the altar of authoritarianism thought to be necessary to remain safe and secure.
Quote by -Ron Paul
Contrary to the claims of the supporters of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the sponsors of H.Res. 676, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not improve race relations or enhance freedom. Instead, the forced integration dictated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 increased racial tensions while diminishing individual liberty.
Quote by -Ron Paul
It is true that liberty is not free, nor is it easy. But tyranny - even varying degrees of it - is much more difficult, and much more expensive. The time has come to rein in the federal government, put it on a crash diet, and let the people keep their money and their liberty.
Quote by -Ron Paul
Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it’s realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy.
Quote by -Ron Paul
There is but one special interest that we should be working for, and that would solve just about all of our problems, and that is our liberty.
