Quotes

• “Liberty (or freedom) is the absence of coercion by other human beings.”
• “If each human being is to have liberty, he cannot also have the liberty to deprive others of their liberty.”
• “A fascist is a student who, seeing the representatives of a chemical industry recruiting on campus, cries, ‘Let's chase the bastard off! We have the right to free speech but he doesn't!’”
• “The greater the hold of government upon the life of the individual citizen, the greater the risk of war.”
• “The only proper role of government, according to libertarians, is that of the protector of the citizen against aggression by other individuals. The government, of course, should never initiate aggression; its proper role is as the embodiment of the retaliatory use of force against anyone who initiates its use.”
• “Beware: the Government Is Armed and Dangerous.”
