Liberty Quotes

"We have depended on government for so much for so long that we as people have
become less vigilant of our liberties. As long as the government provides largesse for the majority, the special interest lobbyists will succeed in continuing the redistribution of welfare programs that occupies most of
Congress's legislative time." -- Dr. Ron Paul
(1935-) American physician, US Congressman (R-TX), US Presidential candidate
Source: Sept 17, 1997 speech to Congress

"[T]here are, at bottom, basically two ways to order social affairs, Coercively, through the mechanisms of the state -- what we can call political society. And voluntarily, through the private interaction of individuals and associations -- what we can call civil society. ... In a civil society, you make the decision. In a political society, someone else does. ... Civil society is based on reason, eloquence, and persuasion, which is to say voluntarism. Political society, on the other hand, is based on force." -- Edward H. Crane
Founder and president of the Cato Institute
