Swami Vivekananda (1863 - 1902)

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him—that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
Swami Vivekananda

Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809)

"Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil." Thomas Paine

Henry Hazlitt (1894 - 1993)

The 'private sector' of the economy is, in fact, the voluntary sector; and the 'public sector' is, in fact, the coercive sector.
Henry Hazlitt

Praxeology - Episode 8 - Time

John Murray (1741 - 1815)

"To say to the slave who has not been emancipated 'Do not behave as a slave' is to mock his enslavement. But to say the same to the slave who has been set free is the necessary appeal to put into effect the privileges and rights of his liberation."
— John Murray

William Ewart Gladstone (1809 - 1898)

There should be a sympathy with freedom, a desire to give it scope, founded not upon visionary ideas, but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle, that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order; the firmest foundations for the development of individual character; and the best provision for the happiness of the nation at large. William Gladstone

Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises (1881 - 1973)

A free man must be able to endure it when his fellow men act and live otherwise than he considers proper. He must free himself from the habit, just as soon as something does not please him, of calling for the police. Ludwig von Mises

Friedrich August Hayek (1899 - 1992)

The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement, it may seem absurd that in complex conditions order, and adaptation to the unknown, can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions and that a division of authority will actually extend the possibility of overall order. Yet that decentralization actually leads to more information being taken into account.
o The Fatal Conceit : The Errors of Socialism (1988), p. 76

Bill Richardson

Ignorance has always been the weapon of tyrants; enlightenment the salvation of the free.
Bill Richardson

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Praxeology - Episode 5 - The Rationality of Action

Possibly the most important lesson so far:

George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

"The best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is — not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him; or say, to make him think things for himself." George MacDonald

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

Praxeology - Episode 2 - Methodology

Max Stirner (1806 - 1856)

(Caricature by Frederick Engels)

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

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)

"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant."
John Stuart Mill

Samuel Adams (1722 - 1803)

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." Sam Adams

Robert Farrar Capon

"Grace is the celebration of life, relentlessly hounding all the non-celebrants in the world. It is a floating, cosmic bash shouting its way through the streets of the universe, flinging the sweetness of its cassations to every window, pounding at every door in a hilarity beyond all liking and happening, until the prodigals come out at last and dance, and the elder brothers finally take their fingers out of their ears."

— Robert Farrar Capon

Henry Ford (1863 - 1947)

Happy Birthday, Henry Ford!


"As long as we look to legislation to cure poverty or to abolish special privilege we are going to see poverty spread and special privilege grow." Henry Ford

Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)

Debt is the prolific mother of folly and of crime. Benjamin Disraeli

Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986)

"Follow the wandering, the distraction, find out why the mind has wandered; pursue it, go into it fully. When the distraction is completely understood, then that particular distraction is gone. When another comes, pursue it also. "
— Jiddu Krishnamurti

Ignatius of Loyola (1491 -1556)

"Act as if everything depended on you; trust as if everything depended on God."
— St. Ignatius of Loyola

Edward Abbey (1927 - 1989)

Orthodoxy is a relaxation of the mind accompanied by a stiffening of the heart. Edward Abbey

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.
Dalai Lama

John Gunther (1901 -1970)
