Quotes by Mark Skousen

• The triumph of persuasion over force is the sign of a civilized society.
• We shall never change our political leaders until we change the people who elect them.
• Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success.
