As It Is With An Individual, So

My Primary Object Is To Defend And Advance A Principle In Which I See The Only Possible Relief From Much That Enthralls And Degrades And Distorts, Turning Light To Darkness And Good To Evil, Rather Than To Gage A Philosopher Or Weigh A Philosophy. Yet The Examination I Propose Must Lead To A Decisive Judgment Upon Both.

The Value Of A Thing Is The Amount Of Laboring Or Work That Its Possession Will Save The Possessor.

It Is As To Whether Its Services Or Uses Are To Be Exchanged Or Not Which Makes A Tool An Article Of Capital Or Merely An Article Of Wealth. Thus, The Lathe Of A Manufacturer Used In Making Things Which Are To Be Exchanged Is Capital, While The Lathe Kept By A Gentleman For His Own Amusement Is Not.

He Who Sees The Truth, Let Him Proclaim It, Without Asking Who Is For It Or Who Is Against It.

The State, It Cannot Too Often Be Repeated, Does Nothing, And Can Give Nothing, Which It Does Not Take From Somebody.
