Harry Browne

Any time you give power to government, it will be abused, it will be enlarged, it will be used in ways you never intended.

For those looking for security, be forewarned that there's nothing more insecure than a political promise.

The problem with politics isn't the money; it's the power.

It's important to realize that whenever you give power to politicians or bureaucrats, it will be used for what they want, not for what you want.

The coercive power of government is always a beacon to those who want to dominate others

Give government the weapons to fight your enemy and it will use them against you.

For those looking for security, be forewarned that there's nothing more insecure than a political promise.
