Liberty Quotes

"Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen." -Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) Source: Thus Spoke Zarathustra http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Friedrich.Nietzsche.Quote.8E64

"Contrary to the Marxists, the Nazis did not advocate public ownership of the means of production. They did demand that the government oversee and run the nation's economy. The issue of legal ownership, they explained, is secondary; what counts is the issue of control. Private citizens, therefore, may continue to hold titles to property -- so long as the state reserves to itself the unqualified right to regulate the use of their property." -Leonard Peikoff (1933- ) Source: The Ominous Parallels http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Leonard.Peikoff.Quote.8A07

"[I]f we won’t choose to pay the price of liberty, then by default we shall suffer the cost of servitude -- whether it be the iron chains of a tyrannical oligarchy or the regulatory chains of unelected, faceless bureaucrats. When we witness our neighbors abused by tyrants, will we skulk away and hope we’re not next? Or will we stand by them and challenge -- as freedom-loving Americans—the tyranny of lawless leaders." -Phil Trieb Source: The New American, p. 39 April 29, 1996. http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Phil.Trieb.Quote.AD4C
