Felix Frankfurter
[Associate Justice, SCOTUS]
"The Procrustean bed is not a symbol of equality. It is no less inequality to have equality among unequals."
"It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals."
"I do take law very seriously, deeply seriously, because fragile as reason is and limited as law is as the institutionalized medium of reason, that's all we have standing between us and the tyranny of mere will and the cruelty of unbridled, undisciplined feeling."
"All our work, our whole life is a matter of semantics, because words are the tools with which we work, the material out of which laws are made, out of which the Constitution was written. Everything depends on our understanding of them."
* "Gratitude is one of the least articulate of the emotions, especially when it is deep. I can express with very limited adequacy the passionate devotion to this land that possesses millions of our people, born, like myself, under other skies, for the privilege that that this county has bestowed in allowing them to partake of its fellowship."

Frederick, Prince of Wales
"The sooner you have an opportunity to lower the interest, for God's sake, do it... if you can be without war, let not your ambition draw you into it... Flatterers, Courtiers or Ministers, are easy to be got, but a true Friend is difficult to be found... Let your steadiness retrieve the glory of the throne."

Betty Friedan
"The problem that has no name -- which is simply the fact that American women are kept from growing to their full human capacities -- is taking a far greater toll on the physical and mental health of our country than any known disease." ["The feminine Mystique", 1963]
_____
Milton Friedman
"The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit."
* "Most economic fallacies derive from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another."
* "A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both."
“When everybody owns something, nobody owns it, and nobody has a direct interest in maintaining or improving its condition. That is why buildings in the Soviet Union—like public housing in the United States—look decrepit within a year or two of their construction…”
* "Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it."
* "One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results."
“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there’d be a shortage of sand.”
”[Of the two key Constitutional principles for preserving freedom] [t]he second broad principle is that government power must be dispersed.”
* "Fundamentally, there are only two ways of co-ordinating the economic activities of millions. One is central direction involving the use of coercion — the technique of the army and of the modern totalitarian state. The other is voluntary co-operation of individuals—the technique of the market place."
"Indeed, a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it does this task [protects individuals against coercion] so well. It gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself."
“Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.”
”[Of the two key Constitutional principles for preserving freedom] [first, the scope of government must be limited. Its major function must be to protect our freedom both from the enemies outside our gates and from our fellow-citizens: to preserve law and order, to enforce private contracts, to foster competitive markets.”
"To the free man, the country is the collection of individuals who compose it, not something over and above them."
"A society which is socialist cannot also be democratic, in the sense of guaranteeing individual freedom."
”The possibility of co-ordination through voluntary co-operation rests on the elementary—yet frequently denied—proposition that both parties to an economic transaction benefit from it, provided the transaction is bi-laterally voluntary and informed.”
* "The nineteenth-century liberal regarded an extension of freedom as the most effective way to promote welfare and equality; the twentieth-century liberal regards welfare and equality as either prerequisites of or alternatives to freedom."
* "These then are the basic roles of government in a free society: to provide a means whereby we can modify the rules, to mediate differences among us on the meaning of the rules, and to enforce compliance with the rules on the part of those few who would otherwise not play the game." ~ Milton Friedman
* "Fundamental differences in basic values can seldom if ever be resolved at the ballot box; ultimately they can only be decided, though not resolved, by conflict. The religious and civil wars of history are a bloody testament to this judgment."
"There is no place for government to prohibit consumers from buying products the effect of which will be to harm themselves.
