Ludwig von Mises Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: September 29, 1881 - October 10, 1973
Birthday: September 29
Death: October 10
The men who are to protect the community against violent aggression easily turn into the most dangerous aggressors. They transgress their mandate. They misuse their power for the oppression of those whom they were expected to defend against oppression. The main political problem is how to prevent the police power from becoming tyrannical. This is the meaning of all the struggles for liberty.
