[Quote No.32931] Need Area: Friends > General
"No man [or woman] can put a [real or a metaphorical] chain about the ankle of his fellow man [or woman] without at last finding the other end fastened about his [or her] own neck. [Therefore finding ways to give responsible freedom to others, increases not only their freedom but ours as well.]" - Frederick Douglass

[Quote No.32932] Need Area: Friends > General
"Modern war is merciless, it does not spare pregnant women or infants; it is indiscriminate killing and destroying. It does not respect the rights of neutrals. Millions are killed, enslaved, or expelled... The root of the evil is not the construction of new, more dreadful weapons. It is the spirit of conquest [superiority and entitlement]." - Ludwig von Mises
Famous economist and political thinker. From his book, 'Human Action', published 1949.

[Quote No.32982] Need Area: Friends > General
"Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough [with a change of heart, ideology or leadership] to take away everything you have. [Therefore it was considered essential by the wise foundering fathers of the United States to set in place strict legislation that restricted the size and powers the people gave their government so the people would always have to develop the character, skills and attitudes to primarily look after themselves and thereby never have to rely on or fear the whims of their government.]" - Davy Crockett

[Quote No.32992] Need Area: Friends > General
"Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom. [They should be very careful what they wish for. Because while they may feel okay while the government is compelling others to do what these individuals want or don't care about, eventually interfering governments, as they grow stronger, nearly always get around to lessening the freedoms they care about too and then they feel very differently about big government and its ever increasing power and desire to interfere in and control the lives of law abiding citizens. An example of this is any of the many failed fascist or communist states during the twentieth century.]" - Ludwig von Mises

[Quote No.33118] Need Area: Friends > General
"To the extent that a society limits its government to policing functions which curb the individuals who engage in aggressive and criminal actions, and conducts its economic affairs on the basis of free and willing exchange, to that extent domestic peace prevails. When a society departs from this norm, its governing class begins, in effect, to make war upon the rest of the nation. A situation is created in which everyone is victimized by everyone else under the fiction of each living at the expense of all." - Edmund A. Opitz

[Quote No.33130] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Government] Power may justly be compared to a great river. While kept within its due bounds it is both beautiful and useful. But when it overflows its banks, it is then too impetuous to be stemmed; it bears down all before it, and brings destruction and desolation wherever it comes. If, then, this is the nature of power, let us at least do our duty, and like wise men who value freedom use our utmost care to support liberty, the only bulwark against lawless power, which in all ages has sacrificed to its wild lust and boundless ambition the blood of the best men that ever lived...." - Andrew Hamilton

[Quote No.33216] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Small, limited government versus big, power-hungry, interventionist, statist government:] The more numerous public instrumentalities become, the more is there generated in citizens the notion [of entitlement] that everything is to be done for them, and nothing by them. Every generation is made less familiar with the attainment of desired ends by individual actions or private agencies; until, eventually, governmental agencies come to be thought of as the only available agencies [and each individual's initiative, enterprise and character is the worse for it]." - Herbert Spencer
From his book, 'The Man versus the State', published 1884.

[Quote No.33217] Need Area: Friends > General
"[The more powerful a nation, just like an individual, the greater its responsibility to act morally, for if we...] Set aside justice, then, and what are kingdoms but great bands of brigands? For what are brigands' bands but little kingdoms? For in brigandage the hands of the underlings are directed by the commander, the confederacy of them is sworn together, and the pillage is shared by law among them. And if those ragamuffins grow up to be able enough to keep forts, build habitations, possess cities, and conquer adjoining nations, then their government is no longer called brigandage, but graced with the eminent name of a kingdom, given and gotten not because they have left their practices but because they use them without danger of law. Elegant and excellent was that pirate's answer to the great Macedonian Alexander, who had taken him; the king asking him how he durst molest the seas so, he replied with a free spirit: 'How darest thou molest the whole earth? But because I do it only with a little ship, I am called brigand: thou doing it with a great navy art called emperor.'" - St. Augustine
