It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president . . . except me.

Throughout history, government has proved to be the chief instrument for thwarting man's liberty.

Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States.

Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed.

I will offer a choice, not an echo.

It is safe to say that the U.S. Congress is now run by paid staffers, not by people elected to do the job.

If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.
