The free market punishes irresponsibility. Government rewards it  (Harry Browne Quotes) Find out what people want and help them get it!  (Harry Browne Quotes) Our government, taxes, and ideas of freedom are already duplicates of the Old World. Our politicians determine how we should live our lives - and our individual liberties are sacrificed for the benefit of the Fatherland  (Harry Browne Quotes) You can’t give the government the power to do good without also giving it the power to do bad - in fact, to do anything it wants.  (Harry Browne Quotes) Government doesn’t work. You work, I work, Federal Express works, Microsoft works, the Salvation Army works, Alcoholics Anonymous works, but government doesn’t.  (Harry Browne Quotes) The communitarians may say you’ve been enjoying too much individual freedom, and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize, obey and conform to their choices  (Harry Browne Quotes) But, actually, it is only Americans who say that our freedoms and prosperity are the reason foreigners hate us. If you ask the foreigners, they make it clear that it’s America’s bullying foreign policy they detest  (Harry Browne Quotes) There was no military reason to drop atomic bombs on Japan. They were used as terrorist weapons - killing innocent people to influence other people  (Harry Browne Quotes) In the 1880s, people all over the world looked to America for inspiration. Its very existence was proof that it was possible to have a relatively free and peaceful country. No income tax, no foreign wars, no welfare state, no intrusions on civil liberties  (Harry Browne Quotes) Communities don’t think, don’t believe, don’t want, don’t have needs, don’t have interests and don’t make decisions. Only individuals have minds that generate desires and needs - and only individuals can make choices and decisions  (Harry Browne Quotes) The Bill of Rights isn’t some legalistic fine print. It was written to make our lives freer, more prosperous, and happier. By forsaking it, America has become no better than any other country in the world  (Harry Browne Quotes) Government is a parasite-a cancer that by nature tries to spread deeper into society. Those who want to run others’ lives won’t give up and start minding their own business  (Harry Browne Quotes) I am running for president because it is obvious that no Democrat or Republican is ever going to stop the relentless growth of the federal government. only a Libertarian is going to set you free  (Harry Browne Quotes) Government is force, pure and simple. There’s no way to sugar-coat that. And because government is force, it will attract the worst elements of society - people who want to use government to avoid having to earn their living and to avoid having to persuade others to accept their ideas voluntarily  (Harry Browne Quotes) Whenever I say that America has become an empire, someone is sure to say I’m being ridiculous  (Harry Browne Quotes) Immigrants used to come to America seeking freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom from government. Now they come looking for free health care, free education, and a free lunch  (Harry Browne Quotes) The press is hostile to the idea of liberty. Most people in the press are for big government. Most people think that the solution to anything, whether it’s health care problems, education, whatever it is - it’s got to be more government  (Harry Browne Quotes) You don’t need an explanation for everything, recognize that there are such things as miracles - events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily  (Harry Browne Quotes) Whatever the price, identify it now. What will you have to go through to get where you want to be? There is a price you can pay to be free of the situation once and for all. It may be a fantastic price or a tiny one - but there is a price  (Harry Browne Quotes) Left-wing politicians take away your liberty in the name of children and of fighting poverty, while right-wing politicians do it in the name of family values and fighting drugs. Either way, government gets bigger and you become less free  (Harry Browne Quotes) No one ever died from smoking marijuana, but millions of people have died by believing politicians  (Harry Browne Quotes) The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative  (Harry Browne Quotes) You can’t give the government the power to do good without also giving it the power to do bad - in fact, to do anything it wants  (Harry Browne Quotes) Everything you want in life has a price connected to it. There’s a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay just for leaving things as they are, a price for everything.  (Harry Browne Quotes) If you ask the government to impose morality, then moral questions will be decided by whoever has the most political power.  (Harry Browne Quotes) A little government involvement is just as dangerous as a lot - because the first leads inevitably to the second.  (Harry Browne Quotes) If younger people see older people who haven’t planned ahead and have to rely on charity, the young will be more likely to provide for the future. Today when someone plans poorly, the only consequence people see is a demand for more government.  (Harry Browne Quotes) Everything we know about human nature and about government tells us that individuals using their own money will achieve far more good for themselves and far more for others than politicians spending money they didn’t have to work to earn.  (Harry Browne Quotes) Forcing people to be generous isn’t humanitarian, effective, compassionate or moral. Only acts that are truly voluntary for all concerned can be truly compassionate.  (Harry Browne Quotes) Freedom and responsibility aren’t interconnected things. They are the same thing.  (Harry Browne Quotes)
