“Each of us has a natural right, from God, to defend his person, his liberty, and his property.”
Frederic Bastiat

Franklin D. Roosevelt
“We have always known that heedless self interest was bad morals, we now know that it is bad economics.”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt

“A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Frédéric Bastiat
“Life Is a Gift from God.
We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life -- physical, intellectual, and moral life.

But life cannot maintain itself alone. The Creator of life has entrusted us with the responsibility of preserving, developing, and perfecting it. In order that we may accomplish this, He has provided us with a collection of marvelous faculties. And He has put us in the midst of a variety of natural resources. By the application of our faculties to these natural resources we convert them into products, and use them. This process is necessary in order that life may run its appointed course.

Life, faculties, production--in other words, individuality, liberty, property -- this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it.

Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.”
Frederic Bastiat, The Law

Franklin D. Roosevelt
“If you treat people right they will treat you right ... ninety percent of the time.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt
