Quotes

  • If you have a government of good laws and bad men, you will have a bad government. For bad men will not be bound by good laws.
  • Governments, by their nature, are instruments of privilege.
  • The family unit is the incubator for human character; the state is the incubator for human dependency.
  • Government, when it is examined, turns out to be nothing more nor less than a group of fallible men with the political force to act as though they were infallible.
  • Since I favor total self-control—absolute government of the individual over himself—I believe autarchy more accurately describes, in a positive fashion, the kind of situation I consider most desirable. Some dictionaries define autarchy as a kind of tyranny or despotism, but of necessity it is limited to self-application.
  • Government doesn't cure problems. It aggravates them.
