“I claim neither liberalism nor conservatism - one tends to be airheaded while the other tends to be brickheaded.”

“We tend to seek captivity because we are used to seeing freedom as something that has neither frontiers nor responsibilities.”

“I tend to doubt the sincerity of people who claim to be humble.”

“Money is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are whether it’s greedy or loving.”

“Our instinctive apparatus consists of two parts- the one tending to further our own life and that of our descendants, the other tending to thwart the lives of supposed rivals.”

“If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals — if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.”
