Liberty Quotes


"[T]he power which a multiple millionaire, who may be my neighbor and perhaps my employer, has over me is very much less than that which the smallest fonctionaire possesses who wields the coercive power of the state and on whose discretion it depends whether and how I am to be allowed to live or to work? And who will deny that a world in which the wealthy are powerful is still a better world than one in which only the already powerful can acquire wealth?" -- Friedrich August von Hayek (1899-1992), Nobel Laureate of Economic Sciences 1974 Source: The Road To Serfdom, P. 115.

"I think it might be important to point out that this country is a one-party country. Half of that party is called Republican and half is called Democrat. It doesn’t make any difference. All the really good ideas belong to the Libertarians." -- Hugh Downs (1921-) American broadcaster, television host, news anchor, TV producer, author Source: on Politically Correct, April, 1997.
