History suggests only that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition. Fascist Italy and Fascist Spain, Germany at various times in the last seventy years, Japan before World Wars I and II, tzarist Russia in the decades before World War I -- are all societies that cannot conceivably be described as politically free. Yet, in each, private enterprise was the dominant form of economic organization. It is therefore clearly possible to have economic arrangements that are fundamentally capitalist and political arrangements that are not free. Even in those societies, the citizenry had a good deal more freedom than citizens of a modern totalitarian state like Russia or Nazi Germany, in which economic totalitarianism is combined with political totalitarianism. Even in Russia under the Tzars, it was possible for some citizens, under some circumstances, to change their jobs without getting permission from political authority because capitalism and the existence of private property provided some check to the centralized power of the state.

War is a friend of the state. In time of war, government will take powers and do things that it would not ordinarily do. (en)

I am an agnostic. I do not "believe in" God, but I am not an atheist, because I believe the statement, "There is a god" does not admit of being either confirmed or rejected. I do not believe God has anything to do with economics. But values do. (en)

Indeed, the major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it does this task so well. It gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. (en)

With respect to teachers' salaries, the major problem is not that they are too low on the average — they may well be too high on the average — but that they are too uniform and rigid. Poor teachers are grossly overpaid and good teachers grossly underpaid. Salary schedules tend to be uniform and determined far more by seniority, degress received, and teaching certificates acquired than by merit. (en)

As it happens, I was opposed to going into Iraq from the beginning. I think it was a mistake, for the simple reason that I do not believe the United States of America ought to be involved in aggression. (en)

Nemal som nič spoločné s ich vládou. Vrúcne si prajem, aby boli nahradené slobodnou demokratickou spoločnosťou. Nepovažujem návštevu žiadneho z nich za súhlas s nimi. Nepovažujem učenie sa z ich skúseností za nemorálne. Nepovažujem poskytnutie rád ohľadne ekonomickej politiky za nemorálne, keď sú podľa mňa také podmienky, že ekonomický vzostup by prispel ako k blahobytu obyčajných ľudí, tak aj k šanci na posun smerom k politicky slobodnej spoločnosti.
Let me stress again. I do not approve or condone the regimes in Chile, Brazil, Yugoslavia or Russia. I had nothing to do with their establishment. I would fervently wish their replacement by free democratic societis. I don not regard visiting any of them as an endorsement. I don not regard learning from their experience as immoral. I don not regard giving advice on economic policy as immoral if the conditions seem to me to be such that economic improvement would contribute both to the well-being of the ordinary people and to the chance of movement toward a politically free society.

Štátne výdavky teraz dosahujú 40 percent národného dôchodku, nerátajúc priame výdavky prostredníctvom regulácií a pod. Pokiaľ zahrniete aj tie, vyjde vám približne polovica. Reálne riziko, ktorému čelíme je že sa toto číslo bude postupne zvyšovať. Jediným efektívnym spôsobom, ako ho udržať dole je obmedziť objem štátnych príjmov. To možno učiniť znížením daní.
I am in favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible. The reason I am is because I believe the big problem is not taxes, the big problem is spending. The question is, “How do you hold down government spending?” Government spending now amounts to close to 40% of national income not counting indirect spending through regulation and the like. If you include that, you get up to roughly half. The real danger we face is that number will creep up and up and up. The only effective way I think to hold it down, is to hold down the amount of income the government has. The way to do that is to cut taxes. (en)

Also often misattributed to Robert A. Heinlein because both helped popularize the expression – Friedman with a book with that title. The phrase actually dates to at least the 1930s.
