Freedom granted only when it is known beforehand that its effects will be beneficial is not freedom

If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion

Our faith in freedom does not rest on the foreseeable results in particular circumstances but on the belief that it will, on balance, release more forces for the good than for the bad.

The more the state 'plans' the more difficult planning becomes for the individual.

Freedom granted only when it is known beforehand that its effects will be beneficial is not freedom.

'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.
