• Conservatives want to be your daddy, telling you what to do and what not to do. Liberals want to be your mommy, feeding you, tucking you in, and wiping your nose. Libertarians want to treat you as an adult.

• Most change in America doesn't come from, politicians. It comes from people inventing things and creating. The telephone, the telegraph, the computer, all those things didn't come from government. Our world is going to get better and better, as long as we keep the politicians from screwing it up.

• One difference between libertarianism and socialism is that a socialist society can't tolerate groups of people practicing freedom, but a libertarian society can comfortably allow people to choose voluntary socialism. If a group of people - even a very large group - wanted to purchase land and own it in common, they would be free to do so. The libertarian legal order would require only that no one be coerced into joining or giving up his property.

• En este punto debemos distinguir entre "gobierno" y "Estado" ... Un gobierno es la organización consensuada mediante la cual resolvemos disputas, defendemos nuestros derechos y satisfacemos ciertas necesidades comunes ... Un Estado, en cambio, es una organización coercitiva que ejerce o disfruta del monopolio del uso de la fuerza física en una zona geográfica determinada y ejerce el poder sobre sus súbditos.

• In 1776, 1950, or now, there's never been a golden age of liberty, and there never will be. People who value freedom will always have to defend it from those who claim the right to wield power over others. ... And, in today's world, that means more than a musket by the door. It means being an active citizen.

• La cruda realidad es que mientras el Estado del bienestar haga posible que las mujeres jóvenes -o las adolescentes- tengan hijos sin marido y sobrevivan sin trabajo, los nacimientos fuera del matrimonio seguirán siendo ruinosamente altos, y el centro de las ciudades seguirá marcado por la delincuencia, la pobreza y la desesperación.

• La verdadera razón para suprimir departamentos como los de Energía y Educación no es fomentar la eficiencia, ni siquiera ahorrar dinero a los contribuyentes. Es que muchas agencias desempeñan funciones que no son responsabilidad federal. Los fundadores sólo delegaron en el Gobierno una autoridad estrictamente definida en el Artículo I, Sección 8, de la Constitución. Busque en toda la Constitución y no encontrará ninguna autorización para que el Congreso subvencione las artes, financie y regule la educación o invierta los ingresos fiscales en investigación energética.

• Libertarians have always battled the age-old scourge of war. They understood that war brought death and destruction on a grand scale, disrupted family and economic life, and put more power in the hands of the ruling class - which might explain why the rulers did not always share the popular sentiment for peace. Free men and women, of course, have often had to defend their own societies against foreign threats; but throughout history, war has usually been the common enemy of peaceful, productive people on all sides of the conflict.
