Liberalism

"The program of liberalism, therefore, if condensed into a single word, would have to read: property, that is, private ownership of the means of production ... All the other demands of liberalism follow from this fundamental demand. Side by side with the word 'property' in the program of liberalism one may quite appropriately place the words 'freedom' and 'peace.'" - Ludwig von Mises

"Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence; Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear." - William E. Gladstone
