  Happy Birthday Professor Mises. Your quote is so fitting today "Manufacturing and commercial monopolies owe their origin not to a tendency imminent in a capitalist economy but to governmental interventionist policy directed against free trade and laissez faire."

  Happy birthday the great free-market defender, liberal
  economist Ludwig vonMises.
  ('liberal' this word in my country China has its classical meaning, so I don't use libertarianist)

  People who suffered the most from communist's slavery value his credit from their hearts.

  Wow, I didn't realized I shared a birthday with one of my heroes. He's 99 years older than me. Happy Birthday, LvM.

  Dearest Ludwig von Mises, the circumstances and qualities in your life made it possible for you to be remarkably principled. Combine that with the blessing of genius and the result was a great foundation that was added to classical liberalism and to human civilization. Those of us who have benefitted from your brilliance and ethics pay tribute to you as often as possible and especially on your birthday.

  The greatest knight of liberalism, but not the last.

  Bruce Koerber:

  Your comment sounds almost as though you believe Mises to have had an easier time adhering to principles than most folks. Please tell me I'm wrong to take away that impression.

  Dear Gene,

  Mises did have a strong foundation derived from his family and their adherence to their culture. That does not lessen the virtue of his staunch adherence to principle.

  I am grateful for his nobility in training and in his approach to life.
