Libertarian Aphorisms

by Russell Hasan  |  Posted April 21, 2012

Running your own life is difficult. Running someone else’s is impossible.

There is no such thing as safety, but there is such a thing as courage.

The job of business is to make life livable. The job of government is to make business impossible.

If war is hell, then pacifism must be heaven.

Assuming that to want something you must also want to pay the price to get it, everyone always gets what he wants in a free market.

Taxes are the price we pay for living in a society that has not yet become truly civilized.

Wealth is what society gives to the owners to compensate them for bearing the risk of large-scale failure.

Democrats sacrifice the healthy to save the sick.

Government: ambitious thugs who proclaim themselves saviors — which is precisely what you would expect ambitious thugs to say.

The difference between libertarians and conservatives? Libertarians have more fun.
