“Not for to hide in a hedge,
Not for a train attendant,
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent.”
As quoted in The Constitution of Liberty, FA Hayek, page 118.

 6 comments to Samizdata quote of the day |
Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

It’s a good thing he’s deceased, or he’d be had up for sedition! And would Benjamin Franklin be considered a subversive, in today’s America?
Burns was partial to liberty.
“A fig for those by law protected!
Liberty’s a glorious feast!
Courts for Cowards were erected,
Churches built to please the Priest.”
Does this have something to do with boats?
You are wrong about the page number. It is 103 not 118. Unless you have some edition I am not aware of.
Nick, in my book which I am looking at it is page 118, chapter 8. My edition is a paperback by Routlege Kegan Paul. I am looking at the page as I type these words.
I actually take great care to get this right, so I was mortified to think I made a mistake, but I haven’t.
My copy says ISBN: 071008518 4
Ok fair enough, it seems just different editions with different pagination then, mine is Routledge Classics 2006, the ISBN & other details are the same as in your amazon link.
