1130: Julie Borowski – Nothing Virtuous About Stealing

W1130: Julie Borowski - Nothing Virtuous About Stealing
There is nothing virtuous about spending other people’s money without their consent—no matter how well-intentioned the cause. Most of us would never dream of stealing money from a neighbor to give to someone less fortunate. Why then do some people demand that the government do it for them? —Julie Borowski

1094: Murray Rothbard – There are No Utilitarian Revolutionaries

F1094: Murray Rothbard - No Utilitarian Revolutionaries
It is rare to find a utilitarian who is also radical, who burns for immediate abolition of evil and coercion. Utilitarians, with their devotion to expediency, almost inevitably oppose any sort of upsetting or radical change. Hence, utilitarians are never immediate abolitionists. They became mere gradualist reformers. But in becoming reformers, they also put themselves inevitably into the position of advisers and efficiency experts to the State. In other words, they inevitably came to abandon libertarian principle as well as a principled libertarian strategy. The utilitarians wound up as apologists for the existing order, for the status quo. Thus, they wound up as the image of the thing they had fought. —Murray Rothbard (For a New Liberty)

1087: Murray Rothbard – How Do We Define Rights?

F1087: Murray Rothbard - Define Rights?
"Right" has cogently and trenchantly been defined by Professor Sadowsky:“When we say that one has the right to do certain things we mean this and only this, that it would be immoral for another, alone or in combination, to stop him from doing this by the use of physical force or the threat thereof. We do not mean that any use a man makes of his property within the limits set forth is necessarily a moral use.”Sadowsky's definition highlights the crucial distinction between a man's right and the morality or immorality of his exercise of that right. —Murray Rothbard (The Ethics of Liberty)
