Defiance, not obedience, is the American's answer to overbearing authority.

There are no little people in America. There are only people, equal before the law, yearning to breathe free and wanting to achieve the best within them.

A good quotation must be a complete entity. It must be like a headline - sharp, clear, whole.

Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward, an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of a negative, by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction. The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is fear.

The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.

I am only concerned with politics so I may see the day when I don't have to be concerned with politics.

The goal of the 'liberals' - as it emerges from the record of the past decades - was to smuggle this country into welfare statism by means of single, concrete, specific measures, enlarging the power of the government a step at a time, never permitting these steps to be summed up into principles, never permitting their direction to be identified or the basic issue to be named. Thus, statism was to come, not by vote or by violence, but by slow rot - by a long process of evasion and epistemological corruption, leading to a fait accompli.
