Always do right. This will surprise some people and astonish the rest.

The most obvious problem with State education is that State teachers will never teach children about the violent nature of the State. How could they? Imagine a teacher telling her students: I am paid with money taken from people by violent means – your parents must pay me or they will be thrown in jail – this entire system of instruction is based on violence – the State uses coercion to achieve its ends. Can you picture any violent system – other than organized crime – being honest about coercion? Of course not.

If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.
- — Alan Greenspan
I prefer the most unfair peace to the most righteous war.
