The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.

Our best protection against bigger government in Washington is better government in the states.

It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

As we peer into society's future, we -- you and I, and our government -- must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.

We cannot risk living all our lives under emergency measures.
