L. Neil Smith Quotes About Liberty

Quotes about: Liberty

• People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically 'right.' Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work.

  L. Neil Smith

  Men, Animal, Gun

  L. Neil Smith (2001). “The Probability Broach”, p.121, Macmillan

• Those who sell their liberty for security are understandable, if pitiable, creatures. Those who sell the liberty of others for wealth, power, or even a moments respite deserve only the end of a rope.

  L. Neil Smith

  Liberty, Rope, Wealth

  L. Neil Smith (2001). “The American Zone”, p.141, Macmillan

• Armed people are free. No state can control those who have the machinery and the will to resist, no mob can take their liberty and property. And no 220 pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110 pound woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil? Is that wrong?

  L. Neil Smith

  Thug, Two, Iron

  L. Neil Smith (2001). “The Probability Broach”, p.121, Macmillan

• A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being for any reason whatever; nor will a libertarian advocate the initiation of force, or delegate it to anyone else. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim.

  L. Neil Smith

  Believe, Liberty, Principles

• If conservatives really believed in individual liberty, as they endlessly claim and if they used both halves of their brains then they'd be libertarians. Instead, they sabotage themselves, and their cause, by constantly generating one spurious reason after another to deprive other people of their freedom.

  L. Neil Smith

  People, Brain, Liberty
