“Freedom means the absence of coercion of a man by his fellow man”

“Your right to swing your arms ends just where the other man’s nose begins.”

– Albert Camus

“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.”

– Friedrich August von Hayek

“Economic freedom is an essential requisite for political freedom. By enabling people to cooperate without coercion or central direction, it reduces the area over which political power is exercised.”

– Milton & Rose Friedman

– Milton Friedman
