Etiam pulvinar consectetur dolor sed malesuada. Ut convallis euismod dolor nec pretium. Nunc ut tristique massa.

Nam sodales mi vitae dolor ullamcorper et vulputate enim accumsan. Morbi orci magna, tincidunt vitae molestie nec, molestie at mi. Nulla nulla lorem, suscipit in posuere in, interdum non magna.

Samizdata quote of the day

“Not for to hide in a hedge,
Not for a train attendant,
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent.”

Robert Burns.

As quoted in The Constitution of Liberty, FA Hayek, page 118.

  • Nuke Gray

    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?

  • Laird

    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.
