The State is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else.

— Frédéric Bastiat



It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our necessities but of their advantages.

— Adam Smith

States have not just disarmed their citizens by taking away their weapons, democratic states in particular have also done so in stripping their citizens of the right to exclusion and by promoting instead – through various non-discrimination, affirmative action, and multiculturalist policies – forced integration.

— F.A. Hayek



Inflation is taxation without legislation.

— Milton Friedman

— Dave Barry



In the long run, the gold price has to go up in relation to paper money. There is no other way. To what price, that depends on the scale of the inflation - and we know that inflation will continue.

— Nicholas L. Deak



There is no truth sure enough to justify persecution.

— John Milton



To steal from one person is theft. To steal from many is taxation.

— Daiell’s Law, a take-off on Felson’s Law
