“Government has three primary functions. It should provide for military defense of the nation. It should enforce contracts between individuals. It should protect citizens from crimes against themselves or their property.

Government should be a referee, not an active player.”

“A society that puts equality — in the sense of equality of outcome — ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom.
