I found the quote quoted as follows:
"Government," he has told us, "has three primary functions: It should
provide for the military defense of the nation. It should enforce contracts
between individuals. And it should protect citizens against crimes against
themselves or their property." Milton, I'm relieved Defense made the cut.

I also saw the quote appearing without quotation marks in a free term paper
website.
