The New Deals enmity for that system of free and competitive private enterprise which we call capitalism was fundamental.

If the great Government of the United States were a private corporation no bank would take its name on a piece of paper, because it has cynically repudiated the words engraved upon its bonds.

If people cannot limit government they will not for long be free.

Formerly government was the responsibility of people; now people were the responsibility of government.

The idea of imposing universal peace on the world by force is a barbarian fantasy.

There was endless controversy as to whether the acts of the New Deal did actually move recovery or retard it, and nothing final could ever come of that bitter debate because it is forever impossible to prove what might have happened in place of what did.

There is in government a living impulse to extend itself indefinitely; and there is in freedom a necessity to resist that impulse.
