José Ortega y Gasset
“No es el ayer, el pretérito, el haber tradicional, lo decisivo para que una nación exista. Este error nace, como ya he indicado, de buscar en la familia, en la comunidad nativa, previa, ancestral, en el pasado, en suma, el origen del Estado. Las naciones se forman y viven de tenr un programa para mañana.”
José Ortega y Gasset, España invertebrada

Friedrich A. Hayek
“There is something seriously lacking in a society in which all the intellectual, moral, and artistic leaders belong to the employed class, especially if most of them are in the employment of the government. Yet we are moving everywhere toward such a position.”
Friedrich A. Hayek, The Constitution of Liberty

Friedrich A. Hayek
“From the fact that the rule of law is a limitation upon all legislation, it follows that it cannot itself be a law in the same sense as the laws passed by the legislator. Constitutional provisions may make infringements of the rule of law more difficult. They may help to prevent inadvertent infringements by routine legislation. But the ultimate legislator can never limit his own powers by law, because he can always abrogate any law he has made. The rule of law is therefore not a rule of the law, but a rule concerning what the law ought to be, a meta-legal doctrine or a political ideal. It will be effective only in so far as the legislator feels bound by it. In a democracy this means that it will not prevail unless it forms part of the moral tradition of the community, a common ideal shared and unquestioningly accepted by the majority.”
Friedrich A. Hayek, The Constitution of Liberty

José Ortega y Gasset
“Pica, a la verdad, en historia la unanimidad con que todas las clases españolas ostentan su repugnancia hacia los políticos. Diríase que los políticos son los únicos españoles que no cumplen con su deber ni gozan de las cualidades para su menester imprescindibles. Diríase que nuestra aristrocacia, nuestra Universidad, nuestra industria, nuestro ejército, nuestra ingeniería, son gremios maravillosamente bien dotados y que encuentran siempre anuladas sus virtudes y talentos por la intervención fatal de los políticos. Si esto fuera verdad, ¿cómo se explica que España, pueblo de tan perfectos electores, se abstiene en no sustituir a esos perversos elegidos?

Hay aquí una insinceridad, una hipocresía. Poco más o menos, ningún gremio nacional puede echar nada en cara a los demás. Allá se van unos y otros en ineptitud, falta de generosidad, incultura y ambiciones fantásticas.”
José Ortega y Gasset, España invertebrada

Friedrich A. Hayek
“The fundamental absurdity of a majority taxing itself in order to maintain a propaganda organization aimed at persuading the same majority to go further than it is yet willing should be obvious. [...] The propriety of such agencies in a democracy spending public funds on publicity in favor of extending their activities must remain questionable.”
Friedrich A. Hayek, The Constitution of Liberty
