"I believe that without free enterprise there can be no democracy."

Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise."

Thomas Jefferson

"So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear that there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free-enterprise system."

Milton Friedman

"There’s no limit to what free men and free women in a free market with free enterprise can accomplish when people are free to follow their dream."

Jack Kemp

"We must win the war on poverty by enlisting the greatest weapon ever invented - free enterprise."

Jack Kemp

"Free enterprise has enabled the creative and the acquisitive urges of man to be given expression in a way which benefits all members of society. Let free enterprise fight back now, not for itself, but for all those who believe in freedom."

Margaret Thatcher

"Governments never supply prosperity. At best, they can facilitate it, by allowing the free enterprise system to work. Usually, they suppress it."

Randy Gage

"I believe that the free enterprise system is the greatest engine of prosperity the world’s ever known."

Barack Obama

"Free enterprise cannot be justified as being good for business. It can be justified only as being good for society."

Peter Drucker

"Maybe the reason some folks lag behind in our free enterprise system is because they depend too much on the free part and not enough on their own enterprise."

William Greider

"I absolutely believe that America has a responsibility, and the privilege of helping defend freedom and promote the principles that make the world more peaceful. And those principles include human rights, human dignity, free enterprise, freedom of expression, elections."

Mitt Romney

"Americans are better off in a dynamic, free-enterprise-based economy that fosters economic growth, opportunity and upward mobility instead of a stagnant, government-directed economy that stifles job creation and fosters government dependency."

Paul Ryan

"Free enterprise is essentially a formula not just for wealth creation, but for life satisfaction."

Arthur C. Brooks

"Free enterprise has done more to lift people out of poverty, to help build a strong middle class, to help educate our kids, and to make our lives better than all the programs of government combined."

Mitt Romney

"American prosperity and American free enterprise are both highly unusual in the world, and we should not overlook the possibility that the two are connected."

Thomas Sowell

"Why is our free-enterprise system so strong? Not because it stands still, frozen in the past, but because it has always adapted to changing realities."

Lee Iacocca

"Free enterprise is a rough and competitive game. It is a hell of a lot better than a government monopoly."

Ronald Reagan

"Some regard private enterprise as it if were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can kill. Only a handful see it for what it really us – the strong horse that pulls the whole cart."

Winston Churchill
