Security... it’s simply the recognition that changes will take place and the knowledge that you’re willing to deal with whatever happens Picture Quote #1

Everything you want in life has a price connected to it. There’s a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay just for leaving things as they are, a price for everything Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to buy from anyone. You don’t have to work at any particular job. You don’t have to participate in any given relationship. You can choose Picture Quote #1

Everything we know about human nature and about government tells us that individuals using their own money will achieve far more good for themselves and far more for others than politicians spending money they didn’t have to work to earn Picture Quote #1

Disarmed citizens encourage crime and violence. Armed citizens encourage criminals to find a safer line of work Picture Quote #1

If a law could keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people, there would be virtually no gun crime at all Picture Quote #1

When you give politicians the power to do what you think is right you’re automatically giving politicians the power to do what you think is wrong Picture Quote #1

Government is good at one thing: It knows how to break your legs, hand you a crutch, and say, see, if it weren’t for the government, you wouldn’t be able to walk Picture Quote #1

Conservatives say the government can’t end poverty by force, but they believe it can use force to make people moral. Liberals say government can’t make people be moral, but they believe it can end poverty. Neither group attempts to explain why government is so clumsy and destructive in one area but a paragon of efficiency and benevolence in the other Picture Quote #1

A welfare state is frightened of every poor person who tries to get in and every rich person who tries to get out Picture Quote #1

When paper money systems begin to crack at the seams, the run to gold could be explosive Picture Quote #1

Politicians are notoriously economically illiterate. And even when they know what would be the right thing, we don’t really expect them to do it Picture Quote #1

I have no temptation to vote, to campaign, to try and stop a candidate who promises new follies Picture Quote #1

In almost all matters, the real question should be: why are we letting government handle this? Picture Quote #1

For those looking for security, be forewarned that there’s nothing more insecure than a political promise Picture Quote #1

Government seems to operate on the principle that if even one individual is incapable of using his freedom competently, no one can be allowed to be free Picture Quote #1
