It seems to me that this is theoretically right, for whatever the question under discussion — whether religious, philosophical, political, or economic; whether it concerns prosperity, morality, equality, right, justice, progress, responsibility, cooperation, property, labor, trade, capital, wages, taxes, population, finance, or government — at whatever point on the scientific horizon I begin my researches, I invariably reach this one conclusion: The solution to the problems of human relationships is to be found in liberty.

LA VIDA ES UN DON DE DIOS
De Dios nos viene el don que, para nosotros, los contiene a todos: La vida. – la vida física, intelectual y moral.
Empero, la vida no se mantiene por sí misma. Aquel que nos la ha dado, ha dejado a cargo nuestro el cuidado de mantenerla, desarrollarla y perfeccionarla.

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.
