2 particularly meaningful quotes come to mind -- they appear in different formats

Life liberty & property do not exist b/c men have made laws, on the contrary it was that life liberty & property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the 1st place. Frederic Bastiat

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force! George Washington

another thing to keep in mind, whenever you're really, really angry, count to 10, not b/c somebody told you to or to be a good little boy, but b/c it gets the opposite side of your brain working & you're much less likely to commit a violent act that you'll regret. For some reason, no matter what happens to us in this world, even if we're provoked we're supposed to keep our hands to ourself.
It's a miracle, you've managed to make it through another day in America & in your state & not be arrested or taken into custody. With the amount of laws that exist, that have existed for years & years, it's a wonder you can accomplish such a thing. We

“Quintessentially and metaphysically, [the libertarian] should remain of good cheer. The eventual victory of liberty is inevitable, because only liberty is functional for modern man. There is no need, therefore, for libertarians to thirst maniacally for Instant Action and Instant Victory, and then to fall into bleak despair when that Instant Victory is not forthcoming. Reality, and therefore history, is on our side.”
-Murray Rothbard

Great quotes.

I have a few others...

"If we believe in absurdities; We shall commit atrocities." ~ Voltaire

“The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.” (Pr 12:24)

“The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.” ~Plutarch

“As to the assumed authority of any assembly in making paper money, or paper of any kind, a legal tender, or in other language, a compulsive payment, it is a most presumptuous attempt at arbitrary power. There can be no such power in a republican government: the people have no freedom, and property no security where this practice can be acted: and the committee who shall bring in a report for this purpose, or the member who moves for it, and he who seconds it, merit impeachment, and sooner or later may expect it.

Of all the various sorts of base coin, paper money is the basest. It has the least intrinsic value of any thing that can be put in the place of gold and silver. A hobnail or piece of wampum far exceeds it. –

The laws of a country ought to be the standard of equity and calculated to impress on the minds of the people the moral as well as the legal obligations of reciprocal justice. But tender laws, of any kind, operate to destroy morality, and to dissolve, by the pretence of law, what ought to be the principle of law to support, reciprocal justice between man and man: and the punishment of a member who should move for such a law ought to be death.”
~ Thomas Paine

"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."
- Lao Tzu

"Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else."
Frederic Bastiat

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Benjamin Franklin

“Socialism is workable only in heaven where it isn't needed, and in hell where they've got it.”
Cecil Palmer

"We learn from history that we learn nothing from history."
