I want a government small enough to fit inside the Constitution.

Government is force, pure and simple. There's no way to sugar-coat that. And because government is force, it will attract the worst elements of society - people who want to use government to avoid having to earn their living and to avoid having to persuade others to accept their ideas voluntarily.

When paper money systems begin to crack at the seams, the run to gold could be explosive.

Each person is living for himself; his own happiness is all he can ever personally feel.

Immigrants used to come to America seeking freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom from government. Now they come looking for free health care, free education, and a free lunch.

A great burden was lifted from my shoulders the day I realized that no one owes me anything.

The coercive power of government is always a beacon to those who want to dominate others -- summoning the worst dregs of society to Washington to use that power to impose their will upon others.
