The Mind Never Fully Accepts Any Convictions

Man Acquires Wealth In Proportion As He Puts His Labor To Better Account.

The State Tends To Expand In Proportion To Its Means Of Existence And To Live Beyond Its Means, And These Are, In The Last Analysis, Nothing But The Substance Of The People. Woe To The People That Cannot Limit The Sphere Of Action Of The State! Freedom, Private Enterprise, Wealth, Happiness, Independence, Personal Dignity, All Vanish.

They Would Be The Shepherds Over Us, Their Sheep. Certainly Such An Arrangement Presupposes That They Are Naturally Superior To The Rest Of Us. And Certainly We Are Fully Justified In Demanding From The Legislators And Organizers Proof Of This Natural Superiority.

Life, Liberty, And Property Do Not Exist Because Men Have Made Laws. On The Contrary, It Was The Fact That Life, Liberty, And Property Existed Beforehand That Caused Men To Make Laws In The First Place.

When Misguided Public Opinion Honors What Is Despicable And Despises What Is Honorable, Punishes Virtue And Rewards Vice, Encourages What Is Harmful And Discourages What Is Useful, Applauds Falsehood And Smothers Truth Under Indifference Or Insult, A Nation Turns Its Back On Progress And Can Be Restored Only By The Terrible Lessons Of Catastrophe.
