It is easy to be conspicuously 'compassionate' if others are being forced to pay the cost.

It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in power, in number, in pride, in absolute dominion over the economy and the society.

I define anarchist society as one where there is no legal possibility for coercive aggression against the person or property of any individual.

Free-market capitalism is a network of free and voluntary exchanges in which producers work, produce, and exchange their products for the products of others through prices voluntarily arrived at.

The greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism.

It is clearly absurd to limit the term 'education' to a person's formal schooling.

Whenever someone starts talking about 'fair competition' or indeed, about 'fairness' in general, it is time to keep a sharp eye on your wallet, for it is about to be picked.

It is infinitely better to rely on the pursuit of economic interest by landowners or street companies than to depend on the dubious “altruism” of bureaucrats and government officials.

Libertarians make no exceptions to the golden rule and provide no moral loophole, no double standard, for government.

No action can be virtuous unless it is freely chosen.

I am certain and have always stressed that the destination of mankind is to become more and more humane. The ideal of humanity has to be revived.

Anyone who wants to help me doesn't. Anyone who wants to kill me might. Anyone who wants to love me better not.

I got a simple rule about everybody. If you don't treat me right - shame on you.

We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.

One guy wanted an outline of my foot. Another guy wanted locks of my hair.

Some roads you shouldn't go down. Because maps used to say there were dragons here. Now they don't. But that don't mean the dragons aren't there.

Nobody wants to have things blurted at them.

I believe in pride of race and lineage and self: in pride of self so deep as to scorn injustice to other selves.
