The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.

The seeds of today's runaway government were planted when it was decided that government should help those who can't help themselves. From that modest, compassionate beginning to today's out-of-control mega-state, there's a straight, unbroken line. Once the door was open, once it was settled that the government should help some people at the expense of others, there was no stopping it.

It has long been apparent that many people in the media don't believe you're competent to make your own decisions.

Security ... it's simply the recognition that changes will take place and the knowledge that you're willing to deal with whatever happens.

If you ask the government to impose morality, then moral questions will be decided by whoever has the most political power.

The problem with politics isn't the money; it's the power.

It isn't possible to give government just a little control over the economy and our lives. Once we cede that power to government, it uses the power to take more from us. That's why every year the government controls more of our lives.
