Top 10 Most Libertarian Quotes by Ronald Reagan

4. “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”

This quote from 1961, years before Reagan’s time in the political spotlight, is a call to action with which all libertarians can empathize. While our efforts may at times seem frivolous, we know that we must fight to protect the liberties and freedoms that have been guaranteed to us by our founding documents. When tyranny threatens our way of life, we must stand together firmly against such breaches upon our natural rights. Nothing should ever be taken for granted or thought of as an impossible inquisition of power when government is involved. The state will inevitably attempt to grow, and it is then up to us to defend those protections for ourselves and our fellow citizens.
