“You exist in time: future, present, and past. This is manifest in life, liberty, and the product of your life and liberty. The exercise of choices over life and liberty is your prosperity. To lose your life is to lose your future. To lose your liberty is to lose your present. And to lose the product of your life and liberty is to lose the portion of your past that produced it.” LifePastLife IsChoicesLosesLibertyProductsExerciseFutureProsperityManifestOur FuturePortionsOur PastYour FutureYour Past Author:Ken Schoolland
“A product of your life and liberty is your property. Property is the fruit of your labor, the product of your time, energy, and talents. It is that part of nature that you turn to valuable use. And it is the property of others that is given to you by voluntary exchange and mutual consent. Two people who exchange property voluntarily are both better off or they wouldn't do it. Only they may rightfully make that decision for themselves.” PeopleLifeMayTwoUseTurnsEnergyGivenDecisionLibertyTalentProductsFutureLaborPropertyFruitValuableMutualConsentBetter Off Author:Ken Schoolland
“Since you own your life, you are responsible for your life. You do not rent your life from others who demand your obedience. Nor are you a slave to others who demand your sacrifice. You choose your own goals based on your own values. Success and failure are both the necessary incentives to learn and to grow. Your action on behalf of others, or their action on behalf of you, is only virtuous when it is derived from voluntary, mutual consent. For virtue can only exist when there is free choice.” LifeActionValuesChoicesGrowsGoalVirtueSacrificeDemandResponsibleSlaveObedienceMutualYou ChooseVirtuousConsentBehalfIncentivesSuccess And FailureFree Choice Author:Ken Schoolland

“I have made decisions that turned out to be wrong, and went back and did it another way, and still took less time than many who procrastinated over the original decision. Your brain is capable of handling 140, 000 million bits of information in one second, and if you take hours or days or weeks to reach a vital decision, you are short-circuiting your most valuable property.” IfsWayMadeStillsBitsHoursDecisionMistakeBrainMillionsWeekInformationCapableOriginalsPropertyValuableAnother Way Author:Jerry Gillies
“People in office have to become models of correct behaviour. What they say and how they act should be beyond criticism.
