Harry Browne quotes about
responsibility freedom-and-responsibility interconnected
Freedom and responsibility aren't interconnected things. They are the same thing.
responsibility self-reliance individual
A secure individual...knows that the responsibility for anything concerning his life remains with himself-and he accepts that responsibility.
responsibility government issues
The American heritage was one of individual liberty, personal responsibility and freedom from government ... Unfortunately ... that heritage has been lost. Americans no longer have the freedom to direct their own lives ... Today, it is the government that is free - free to do whatever it wants. There is no subject, no issue, no matter ... that is not subject to legislation.
sorry responsibility government
The bad consequences of a government program usually don't show up immediately. And the delay may be long enough to hide the connection between the program and its results. So government never has to say it's sorry - never has to take responsibility for ht misery it causes. Instead it can blame everything on personal greed, profit-hungry corporations, and the 'private sector.' And the government's cure for the problems is to impose bigger programs, more regulation and higher taxes.
hurt responsibility gun
The police can't stop an intruder, mugger, or stalker from hurting you. They can pursue him only after he has hurt or killed you. Protecting yourself from harm is your responsibility, and you are far less likely to be hurt in a neighborhood of gun-owners than in one of disarmed citizens - even if you don't own a gun yourself.

The wind just hindered us today, to be honest. As dry as it is, it's not unusual at all.

When those things get to burning, it's hard to get them out.
business cost dodge fair legitimate operating others protecting
This is the legitimate cost of operating a responsible business and protecting the taxpayers. Phelps Dodge is free-riding, and it's not fair to others who are being more responsible.
people important want
While most people in TV, radio, and the press have treated me wonderfully, some of the most important people want to pretend I don't exist.
past liberty libertarian
Not only can no one predict the future, we don't understand the present - and there isn't even any certainty about the past.
country war inspiration
In the 1880s, people all over the world looked to America for inspiration. Its very existence was proof that it was possible to have a relatively free and peaceful country. No income tax, no foreign wars, no welfare state, no intrusions on civil liberties.
government ideas people
Some people object to libertarian ideas because there are too many irresponsible people in the world - people who will cause trouble if the government doesn't restrain them.
