Adam Smith
“There is no art which one government sooner learns of another than that of draining money from the pockets of the people.”
Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
tags: taxes

Henry Hazlitt
“Eternal vigilance is the price of an open mind.”
Henry Hazlitt, Thinking as a Science

“Certainly.  In other words, no one is compelling a person to work at a job he doesn’t like or remain in a country against his will.  He actually wants to do the very things he dislikes simply because the alternative is considered worse and he must choose something to do among the various things in his environment, or else commit suicide. ”
Seymour Lessans, Decline and Fall of All Evil: The Most Important Discovery of Our Times

Henry Hazlitt
“It has been frequently said that many of the world’s greatest inventions were due to accident. In a sense this is true. But the accident was prepared for by previous hard thinking. It would never have occurred had not this thinking taken place.”
Henry Hazlitt, Thinking as a Science

Rollo May
“And did not Spinoza's refusing to flee from excommunication by his church and community mean the same inner battle of integrity, the same struggle for the power not to be afraid of aloneness, without which the noble Ethics, certainly one of the great works of all time, could not have been written?”
Rollo May, Man's Search for Himself
