Unemployment doles can have no other effect than the perpetuation of unemployment.

Tyranny is the political corollary of socialism, as representative government is the political corollary of the market economy.

The first requisite for a better social order is the return to unrestricted freedom of thought and speech.

A new type of superstition has got hold of people’s minds, the worship of the state. People demand the exercise of the methods of coercion and compulsion, of violence and threat. Woe to anybody who does not bend his knee to the fashionable idols!

A free public broadcast license is a privilege.

For all their restlessness, men are who they are; once they put on the man’s toga they will not change again; so they make a virtue of that rigidity and resist whatever might soften it and set them free.

Do you wish to see clearly and be free?

There is no liberation to compare with freeing oneself from the illusions and delusions of the age in which one lives.
