The difference between a thief and a congressman: When a thief steals your money, he doesn't expect you to thank him.

If you wish to know how libertarians regard the State and any of its acts, simply think of the State as a criminal band, and all of the libertarian attitudes will logically fall into place.

- Murray Rothbard

The advantage of a free market is that it allows millions of decision-makers to respond individually to freely determined prices, allocating resources in a manner that can’t be mimicked by a central plan, however brilliant the central planner.

— Friedrich Hayek

We are living in a sick society filled with people who would not directly steal from their neighbor but who are willing to demand that the government do it for them.

- William L. Comer

No amount of idealism can justify the monopolization of power; only a decentralized, voluntary order of free markets and individual sovereignty can truly safeguard liberty and prosperity.

Logic alone cannot free a man from a flawed belief that he did not adopt through logic in the first place.

The concept of a 'just' or 'fair' price is devoid of any scientific meaning; it is a disguise for wishes, a striving for a state of affairs different from reality.

- Ludwig von Mises

Simply put, libertarians take the non-aggression principle that most people implicitly follow in their interactions with other individuals, and apply it to group actions, including government actions, as well.

- Mary J. Ruwart

When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence.

- Gary Lloyd

"A monopoly on the legal right to initiate force does not decrease the danger peaceful people face from aggressive people; in fact, an institution such as this serves to attract those who desire power and coercive control over others to its own positions of authority."

It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.

- Thomas Sowell
