• Después de ver el discurso sobre el Estado de la Unión la otra noche [1994], recuerdo el viejo adagio de que la imitación es la forma más sincera de adulación. Sólo que en este caso no se trata de adulación, sino de hurto: el robo intelectual de ideas que usted y yo reconocemos como propias. Los discursos cuentan poco en el escenario mundial a menos que se tengan convicciones y, sí, la visión de ver más allá de los asientos de primera fila.

  Ronald Reagan

  Discurso pronunciado el 3 de febrero de 1994 con motivo de la Gala del 83º Aniversario de la Fundación.

• The man who is admired for the ingenuity of his larceny is almost always rediscovering some earlier form of fraud. The basic forms are all known, have all been practiced. The manners of capitalism improve. The morals may not.

• El enemigo agresor persigue siempre el latrocinio, el asesinato, la rapiña y la barbarie. Siempre avanzamos con una misión elevada, un destino impuesto por la deidad para regenerar a nuestras víctimas mientras capturamos incidentalmente sus mercados, para civilizar a los pueblos salvajes y seniles y paranoicos mientras tropezamos accidentalmente con sus pozos de petróleo o sus minas de metal.

• What I have learned about corporate capitalism, roughly, is that it is an act of theft, by and large, through which a very few live very high off the work, invention, and creativity of very many others. It is the Grand Larceny of our particular time in history, the Grand Larceny in which a future of freedom which could have followed the collapse of feudalism was stolen from under our noses by a new bunch of bosses doing the same old things

• The old doctrine that God wanted man to do something for him, and that he kept a watchful eye upon all the children of men; that he rewarded the virtuous and punished the wicked, is gradually fading from the mind. We know that some of the worst men have what the world calls success. We know that some of the best men lie upon the straw of failure. We know that honesty goes hungry, while larceny sits at the banquet. We know that the vicious have every physical comfort, while the virtuous are often clad in rags.

• There is two types of Larceny, Petty and Grand. They are supposed to be the same in the eyes of the law, but judges always put a little extra on you for Petty, which is kind of a fine for stupidness.

• We are all pirates at heart. There is not one of us who hasn't had a little larceny in his soul. And which one of us wouldn't soar if God had thought there was merit in the idea? So, when we see one of those great widespread pirates soaring across the grain of sea winds we thrill, and we long, and, if we are honest, we curse that we must be men every day. Why not one day a bird! There's an idea, now, one day out of seven a pirate in the sky. What puny power a man can attain by comparison. Compare a 747 with a bird and blush!

• el escritor debe resistir esta tentación [de citar] y hacerlo lo mejor posible con sus propias herramientas. A los músicos nos resultaría muy cómodo si, llegados a una determinada crisis emocional en nuestra obra, pudiéramos simplemente meter unos compases de Brahms o Schubert. De hecho, muchos compositores no dudan en hacerlo. Pero nunca he oído defender esta práctica; posiblemente porque ese horrible símbolo del hurto, la coma invertida, no puede incorporarse bien a una partitura musical.

• A Catherine Land le gustaban los comienzos de las cosas. La posibilidad blanca y pura de la habitación vacía, el primer beso, el primer golpe de latrocinio. Y los finales, también le gustaban. El drama del cristal que se rompe, el pájaro muerto, la despedida llorosa, la última palabra horrible que nunca se puede dejar de decir o recordar.
  Eran los intermedios los que la hacían detenerse. Esto, a pesar de su impulso hacia delante, era un punto medio. Los comienzos eran dulces, los finales normalmente amargos, pero los intermedios eran sólo la cuerda floja entre uno y otro. Nada más que eso.

  Robert Goolrick

• [Libertarians] don't denounce what the state does, they just object to who's doing it. This is why the people most victimized by the state display the least interest in libertarianism. Those on the receiving end of coercion don't quibble over their coercers' credentials. If you can't pay or don't want to, you don't much care if your deprivation is called larceny or taxation or restitution or rent. If you like to control your own time, you distinguish employment from enslavement only in degree and duration.

• La recaudación de impuestos que no son absolutamente necesarios, que no contribuyen más allá de toda duda razonable al bienestar público, no es más que una especie de latrocinio legalizado. En esta República, las recompensas de la industria pertenecen a quienes las ganan.
