Too true!!

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”-Victor Frankl

Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows. ~ Michael Landon Jr.

Whoever desires liberty should understand … that every man who puts money into the hands of a "government" (so called), puts into its hands a sword which will be used against himself, to extort more money from him.– Lysander Spooner

"Consciousness is when we feel the suffering of every creature within our own hearts." – Bhagavad Gita

It is incorrect to think of liberty as synonymous with unrestrained action. Liberty does not and cannot include any action, regardless of sponsorship, which lessens the liberty of a single human being. To argue contrarily is to claim that liberty can be composed of liberty negations, patently absurd. Unrestraint carried to the point of impairing the liberty of others is the exercise of license, not liberty. To minimize the exercise of license is to maximize the area of liberty. Ideally, government would restrain license, not indulge in it; make it difficult, not easy; disgraceful, not popular. A government that does otherwise is licentious, not liberal.– Leonard E. Read

"...the idea is to try to give all of the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another." - Richard Feynman

What do libertarians want from government? If they haven’t violated the personal or property rights of someone else, libertarians just want to be left alone.– Laurence M. Vance
