A successful entrepreneur is a hero.
Collectivism...ends up binding the hands of entrepreneurs and prevents them from offering better goods and services at a better price.
Collectivists [want] not greater freedom but rather greater regulation, which creates a downward spiral of regulations until we are all poorer and our lives depend on a bureaucrat sitting in a luxury office.
Economic freedom, limited government, and unlimited respect for private property are essential elements for economic growth.
Free trade capitalism as an economic system is the only instrument we have to end hunger, poverty and extreme poverty across our planet.
If printing money would end poverty, printing diplomas would end stupidity.
If the state punishes capitalists when they’re successful...they will destroy their incentives, and the consequence is that they will produce less.
Long live freedom, damn it!
My contempt for the state is infinite.
Socialism is always and everywhere an impoverishing phenomenon that has failed in all countries where it's been tried out.
The state does not create wealth; the state destroys it. The state can give you nothing because it produces nothing, and when it attempts it, it does so poorly.
The western world is in danger...because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the west are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty.
[Socialism has] been a failure economically, socially, culturally, and it also murdered over 100 million human beings.
