"Our moral traditions developed concurrently with our reason, not as its product."
Reason
"We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice."

Government
"We know: of course, with regard to the market and similar social structures, a great many facts which we cannot measure and on which indeed we have only some very imprecise and general information."
Fact
"If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion."
