Additional quotes by Frédéric Bastiat

ha procedido en forma contraria a su propia finalidad; ha destruido su propia meta; se ha aplicado a aniquilar aquella justicia que debía hacer reinar, a anular, entre los derechos, aquellos límites que era su misión hacer respetar; ha puesto la fuerza colectiva al servicio de quienes quieran explotar, sin riesgo y sin escrúpulos, la persona, la libertad o la propiedad ajenas; ha convertido la expoliación, para protegerla, en derecho y la legítima defensa en crimen, para castigarla. ¿Cómo se ha llevado a cabo semejante perversión de la ley? ¿Cuáles son sus consecuencias?

Be responsible for ourselves. Look to the State for nothing beyond law and order. Count on it for no wealth, no enlightenment. No more holding it responsible for our faults, our negligence, our improvidence. Count only on ourselves for our subsistence, our physical, intellectual, and moral progress!
