Praxeology - Episode 3 - Purposeful Action

If you choose not to act, you still have made an action (/Hat Tip to Neil Peart).


Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)


The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity. Benjamin Franklin

Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self. Max Stirner
